Are you ready for our robot overlords? In this video (well, commercial), an industrial robot faces off against master Japanese swordsman Isao Machii.

We recently saw Machii slicing an 80mph fried shrimp. This time, he’s helping robotics maker Yaskawa Electric Corporation teach a robot the fine art of mastering a katana. Swell.
