That robot is so slow..
But it would be a cool addon for sword fighting games, as were the arm is a CPU.

Did you expect it to be a fast sword fighting robot?

Well, yeah, it has a sensor, I would figure it just reflects what you do, it looks like it just moves its arm around and you follow it to me...

The latter part of the video shows the robot in defense mode where it follows the user and tries to position itself to block the oncoming attack.

We're quite a while away from Star Wars speed robots.
