From what I read of the Dune books, mentat seems like a really lovely gig.

using the same technique that people use to teach baxter (showing by example, in this case, throwing different objects at it and having another guy move the arm to meet it) these guys taught a robot arm to catch different objects super fast. It looks fake as poo poo because its unreal.

Could be used to prevent accidents.

This robot could probably figure out how to shoot a gun really well.
