Engineers built a robot that shoots gum

Young engineers have created a sniper robot that shoots gum. The device throws chewing gum directly into an open mouth.

In China, a team of engineers from the HTX Studio company has created an unusual technological innovation that can launch chewing gum directly into the mouth. The robot, called Gummy, is a small device with a rotating mechanism that, when a person opens his mouth, accurately shoots chewing gum. In a video that has gone viral on social networks, you can see how a person activates the robot by simply opening his mouth wide. The shooter tracks the movement and launches the gum at the moment when the test subject is ready to catch it.

In addition, the robot can shoot chewing gum even over long distances, and in some cases, accurately direct one piece of gum into another flying in the air. This seemingly simple, but rather clever engineering solution can charm with its precision and maneuverability.

Despite all its simplicity, the device has caused a storm of emotions among social media users. Some joke that they could suffocate from using such a robot too actively. Others express concerns: if a person opens his lips just to take a breath or say something, gum will immediately fly into his face.

HTX Studio is already known for its innovations. For example, they created a fully automated line for the production of origami birds and a device that can shoot small rings for playing ring toss. Although Gummy does not perform complex combat or household tasks, it is still a pretty funny invention.

Moreover, some users online have noted that if such technology can launch chewing gum, it could theoretically be adapted for more dangerous purposes, such as firing projectiles or in air defense systems. This reaction raises questions about the potential risks associated with the development of robotics technologies.
