A Robot That Picks Locks Using Physics, Not Sight In an ambitious experiment, a creator built a robotic lockpicker that can identify internal lock pins without a camera. It relies on force sensing and Hooke’s Law. This improves on previous versions of the project that took a brute-force approach, which cost up to a week trying every possible pin combination. The new version uses RC servo motors for quicker movement and mounts… |
