Having had to deal with robotic manufacturing systems in the latter part of the 20th Century (semi-conductor industry) I'm well familiar with advance enabled by Moore's Law.

That said, I'm really impressed by that video! I remember attending a SoCal conference in '99 or 2000 and our luncheon speaker demonstrated a primitive robotic feedback that involved a tilting track (think teeter-totter) driven with servos, with a ball in the rails. The idea was to keep the ball rolling back and forth without it rolling off either end, based on picking up ball movement with photo sensors - and it wasn't successful more than 50% of the time.

Kewl stuff!
