SWITL Scoops Up Goopy Stuff Perfectly

SWITL

This crafty Furukawa Kikou robot, the SWITL, scoops up goopy messes with ease and then can place them down again in the exact form they were picked up.  I think it is amazing but can't think of too many uses for it in the real world.  It was supposedly designed for bakeries that use soft substances that are too squishy for human hands.  Either way it is quite cool.
