Page-Turning Robot Turns the Pages of Physical Books
This invention even picked up the "Robot of the Year" award for last year in Japan.
The gadget lab blog at Wired.com is not enthusiastic about the device, which may have been intended for use by paraplegics:
"Book Time, a page turning robot, is in practice a wonderfully useless piece of whimsy. The video shows the poor machine struggling to get a grip and flip a page. It’s funny when seen once or twice, but imagine using this and seeing the same hydraulic hesitation on every turn — the very definition of frustration.
This is sad. A look at a still photograph of the device shows the activation control — a tube into which you blow. Imagine being unable to turn pages by hand and using this instead. A boon, certainly, but the anxiety accompanying every blow, hoping that the robo-arms won’t jump their rails and just fold a page, would be excruciating. Plus, you need somebody with hands to load the thing every time you need to change books. Far better would be a voice operated e-book reader."
As soon as I figure out how to imbed the video I will include it here. In the meantime the video is available at the several of the hyperlinks in this post.

The book time robot is creative. yet it can be progressed as you said, to be more flexible by itself. The market has other choices to flip the pages or images, such as the Kvisoft flipbook maker, can do as well as you like, though it's not controlled by robots.

Books offer a tangible, sensory experience – the feel of the paper, the smell of the ink, the act of physically turning a page. Robotics, on the other hand, often aims to automate or enhance efficiency. The Book Time Robot essentially automates a manual, tactile action that many readers enjoy. This contrast creates the "peculiar" feeling.
