Robot, played well in table tennis: the development of Germany

Let me remind you, today, March 11, passes table tennis competition between the robot and the human ( Timo Boll - repeated champion of all sorts of competitions).

While we wait for the results of this competition, Rate this game another robot, created by the German engineer. The robot was named UHTTR-1, it looks very good - no multikilogram structures, only the camera arm with adjustable chassis and associated software.

Unfortunately, the robot does not know how to attack, he plays in a passive mode. Shade until he, too, is not trained, but beats beats quite serious. Actually, this robot can be used as a rival for training and competition with an entry-level players.

Incidentally, this is not a project of the day, Uhl Hoffman, was the name of the engineer, developed the robot for two years.

Among other things, the software created for the robot control allows the device to educate themselves, and creator UHTTR-1 is now hard at work on the strategy of "attacking robots." Well, then, that the robot can already do, before you:



But the new video from Kuka, a company whose robot fights today with Timo Boll. The ability of the robot is impressive, right?
