I wish this toy train stuck on an infinite loop weren’t such an obvious metaphor

Here, watch this video of a train trapped on a circular track. The track is only made of three pieces of wood, but the train’s route is infinite. That’s because a disembodied robot hand is really in control, forcing the little train to repeat the same journey over and over again without actually getting anywhere.As Creators points out, this project, called Robotic Loop, was made by mechanical engineering student Christian Schürch for this year’s Luga Trade Fair in Lucerne,
