Robot cheats on Humans

Computer scientists of the Ishikawa Oku Laboratory, of the University of Tokyo, developed the first robot who wins the game Rock, Paper, Scissors with a hundred percent probability of success.

The first version of the so called Janken Robot could only react to the already formed hand of the human. Analysis and reaction happens about twenty milliseconds. So the Janken Robot is doing the representation already, while the human hand is still assuming shape.
According to this role model the occupation between robot and human will be upgraded and an almost delay less execution will be possible in future.
