The robot arm that feeds you breakfast could be the most incredible invention of our time.

If it only worked. The robot arm in the video posted to YouTube by Simone Giertz shows her sitting at a table reading a book while the robot arm prepares her breakfast.

Seems easy enough, the robot arm pours Cheerios into a bowl, then follows it up with some milk, grabs a spoon and feeds Giertz.

Like I said earlier, it would be great if it worked. Back to the drawing board, but thanks for the laugh.

Giertz also posted a video explaining why she created the robot arm as well as a quick (and just as busted) dry run with the robot arm.
