The device is a motorized CNC machine – they’re calling it a Universal Digital Power Tool (UDPT) – for wood. It can cut, machine, drill, and carve. Built by the guys who built the ShopBot , a similarly complex CNC system for woodworking. -- TechCrunch

I wish this thing existed when I was doing my Carpentry workshop during first year Engineering.
