YouTube channel HTX Studio built an extremely over-engineered assembly line that folds sheets of paper into origami pigeons.
The machine appears to be solely for entertainment, with the studio planning to give the folded pigeons away to followers.
Throughput and latency are difficult to estimate from the video, although the studio says latency is around 50 seconds.
Assuming the machine works 20 hours per day and can produce one pigeon every 10 seconds, it could produce approximately 7,000 pigeons per day.
Comments on the video and elsewhere indicate that the studio does not intend to sell the pigeons, but to give them away to those who follow them on other social media platforms.
The focus on high output and industrial engineering is a significant departure from traditional origami, which tends to focus on elegant and manually performed folding techniques.
