Two dedicated Lego engineers have replicated an ABB IRB 120 robot entirely out of the famous bricks - see a video of it in action.
Lego seems to be all the rage at the moment (though did it ever go away?), with the Danish toy company’s profits continuing to grow and the recent release of a new movie based on those colourful bricks.
As Lego enters the world of programmable robotics with the Mindstorms series, a couple of its dedicated engineers have constructed a version of its IRB 120 robot entirely out of the famous blocks – a painstaking process which took eight months of their spare time.
The amazing robot replicates the contours movements of the original IRB 120, and while it cannot match the speed or capacity of the real thing, it’s an impressive creation. Here’s a video of the Lego IRB 120 in action:
