Sony's Robot Can Beat Professional Table Tennis Players

Sony’s AI-powered robot, Ace, has achieved a significant robotics milestone by beating elite table tennis players in three out of five matches. The robot, tested on a custom Olympic-sized table tennis court, features nine perimeter cameras and the ability to track ball logos to calculate spin. It even pulled off shots that players think are impossible. Sony claims this is the “first time a robot has achieved human, expert-level play in a commonly played competitive sport in the physical world — a longstanding milestone for AI and robotics research.” #robots #robotics #artificialintelligence #ai #technology #technews
