Google DeepMind Develops a 'Solidly Amateur' Table Tennis Robot
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: In a newly published paper titled "Achieving Human Level Competitive Robot Table Tennis," Google's DeepMind Robotics team is showcasing its own work on the game. The researchers have effectively developed a "solidly amateur human-level player" whe...
The researchers have effectively developed a "solidly amateur human-level player" when pitted against a human component. "However, it is also only a small step towards a long-standing goal in robotics of achieving human level performance on many useful real world skills. These could include exploring predictive models to anticipate ball trajectories or implementing faster communication protocols between the robot's sensors and actuators."
