Table Tennis Players Face Grueling Competition

MDR Aktuell Leipzig 17d10d Impact 5
A new autonomous table tennis robot named Ace has been introduced, capable of competing against professional players. The robot utilizes artificial intelligence to achieve high-speed and high-precision reactions. This development suggests potential applications for AI in various fields requiring rapid human-like interaction. The machine utilizes a manipulator equipped with a racket, nine cameras positioned around the table, and an external computer. A human player participated in the experiment by operating within the machine's artificially created environment. The robot features a mechanical arm and lacks human emotion, making its actions difficult to predict. The match placed professional players in unfamiliar and hostile competitive conditions. The match is set to be a maximum of four days, with one player leading 33 games to 17.

“Машина состоит из сложной платформы размером стеннисный стол и установленного на ней манипулятора с теннисной ракеткой. Кроме того, в систему входят 9 камер, расставленных вокруг стола, а также внешний компьютер.”

“It has a superhuman ability to read the rotation of incoming balls and superhuman reaction speed. People who have trained their whole lives against humans faced completely unfamiliar and even hostile conditions.”

CNR Voice of China

“33局17胜,那么双方最多会激战4天。那么这对这个选手的激战数,包括这个意志,都是一种非常大的一个考验。那么像第一阶段,无意者其实就发挥得不错。远台的进攻非常精确,他也利用这种精确的优势,那么拿到了6比2的领先。但是到了第二阶段,我们知道能够进4强的这些选手都是不容小觑的。”
