Robotic arm powered by AI bats away ping-pong challenge
"The system can not only challenge professional players, but also provide valuable insights on human strategy and movement, according to an accompanying article describing the work."
"Designing and building a system able to play such a fast-moving sport requires engineers to design-in features which can detect an environmental change, decide how to react and then implement that reaction at speeds that enable them to compete with humans."
"Ace is built from three modules, including a high-speed perception system, a control system and a robotic arm."
The AI-based robotic system Ace, developed by Sony AI, has demonstrated superior performance in table tennis, surpassing elite human players. This system showcases the ability of robots to perform complex, real-time tasks, which may have broader applications. Ace consists of three modules: a high-speed perception system, a control system, and a robotic arm. The perception system utilizes conventional cameras and gaze control systems to track the ball's location and spinning rate, enabling it to react swiftly to environmental changes during play.
