Table Tennis Players Face Grueling Competition
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.
