<p>Every Friday, Future Tense rounds up the best robot videos of the week. Seen a great robot video?

But this latest trick makes those previous feats looks boring. The ETH Zurich team behind several other amazing quadrotor accomplishments now has their little drones combining a game of catch with a delicate balancing act, all while suspended in above ground. In real time, these quadrotors work autonomously to balance a rod on end, throw it to their partners, and catch it without letting it fall. The video details each step of this process in a way you just have to see for yourself.</p><p>The Casino BotIf you find it hard to trust blackjack dealers, ask yourself how having a robot at the table might change things. The versatile Dexter Bot from Yaskawa Motoman Robotics showed off its casino-floor skills last month at Automate 2013 in Chicago. The dealer uses little suction cups on its hands to pick cards off the pile and place them in front of the player, and a vision system lets it read the cards and do the math. Even if you prefer the company of a human dealer, these robots could be a great tourist attraction along the Vegas strip someday. And who knows, maybe they could play an exciting role in Danny Ocean's next big casino heist.</p><p><a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2013/02/22/robot_blackjack_dealer_quadrotors_playing_catch_and_other_robot_videos_from.html">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://gizmodo.com/5986171/rain-mans-finally-met-his-match-with-this-blackjack+dealing-robot">Rain Man&#039;s Finally Met His Match With This Blackjack-Dealing Robot</a> (Gizmodo)</p><p><a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/02/blackjack-dealer-robot-helps-even-up-the-odds/">Blackjack Dealer Robot Helps Even Up The Odds</a> (Ubergizmo)</p><p><a href="http://www.webpronews.com/robot-blackjack-dealers-will-always-stack-the-deck-against-you-2013-02">Robot Blackjack Dealers Will Always Stack The Deck Against You</a> (WebProNews)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=d8b3a9663MGm1FMZWGJpkqUZ8fBFM&ned=us">5 additional articles.</a></p>
