It’d be easy to do this in stop-motion animation; to do it unaided by human hands is remarkable. It’s a robotic chair that falls apart and then reassembles itself.
As ever the sceptical type, I checked into the people behind the scenes and they seem eminently qualified. Raffaello D’Andrea, the leader of the bunch, has a c.v. longer than my arm in fields like electrical engineering and robotics.
In addition, he’s currently at Cornell University, where another team of researchers developed a self-replicating robot. I blogged about it last year. (The link to a video seems to be timing out at the moment, so you might want to give it a try later.)
Some other projects he’s worked on here.
(Some sound effects.)

I, too, wonder why the Archbishop of Canterbury is so paranoid about the DaVinci Code. Alice Thompson ponders his rant against it as well. If Christianity is so great how would it be threatened by a novel?
