The robotic ninja from RoboCop 3 is one step closer to reality thanks to some short-sighted engineers who don't seem to think that giving sharp objects to robots might be a problem.

In the video, the robots created by ABB Robotics unsheathe katanas and do battle, matching each other move for move in a demonstration of the increasing sophistication in industrial robotics for manufacturing purposes. The sword fight moves somewhat slowly, though this could be a ploy to make us believe we could outrun the army of blade-wielding bots when the robot uprising arrives.

Watch the clip and be amazed or terrified by the practice fight. You might as well learn the moves of your future enemy now so you can counter them when the going gets tough.
