BERTI the Robot Plays Rock, Paper, Scissors

BERTI (built by a partnership of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and Elutmotion Ltd.) is a fully automated robotic torso designed to perform "credible conversational gestures." The robot is capable of quite complex hand movements, and, in the demonstration video above, plays a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with a fine gentleman wearing a Goldfinger t-shirt, becoming another addition to the long line of gaming bots.
