You don’t always need to have a human training partner to get some ping pong practice. Not when the Omron Ping Pong Robot can keep up with you. It has sensors about the table to monitor the ball 80 times a second. The robot knows where its bat needs to be and where shots will land.
The robot is not perfect, but it can give human players some practice. What do you think? Are you impressed?
