Unwatchable⌠you canât tell if itâs really playing, or just edited that way. Look for the other ping pong video, with the tracked robot⌠much better.
Youâre being too cynical. As a ping-pong enthusiast with $50k to blow on an over-hyped industrial robot arm I found it highly compelling.
This is cool. http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/industrial-robots/robots-playing-ping-pong-whats-real-and-whats-not
Yes! See? Told ya so⌠âtoo cynicalâ indeed! Watch this:
for the real deal. Before long, robots will be unbeatable at pong.
That was great fun to watch.
ps. Itâs a marketing video, not a science-based video, which doesnât make it any less enjoyable.
Yeah, Iâm going to go with the consensus here, and say this sucks, but the other links are much more interesting.
Maybe it should be called the Hopelessly Automatic Ping Pong player.
The fake multi robot ending doesnât help the believability. It does look like a strong, accurate and fast arm though, which is the whole point of the advert.
Believable or not, this is awful, headache-inducing video editing. I really donât need to see the ball traveling from three different angles as it crosses the table.
I do not make a living by playing ping-pong.
Nor do I make a living by designing machine-overlords that play ping-pong.
I am non-plussed by this.
I dunno about you guys, but I, for one, welcome our new ping pong playing robot overlords.
Updated post with actual ping pong playing robot overlord.
My cultural conditioning was screaming: âItâs going to kill himâ, the whole time. Also, I checked Facebook twice.
This is how it all starts. John Titor warned us, but did we listen? DID WE???
Thatâs not bad â it has a lot of trouble with spin, and plays a passive defense about as well as I do. Not quite a plausible training partner for beginners.
Sadly this replacement video is almost surely a fake. See the comments in the link below for very conclusive evidence, including screenshots.
