Teaching a robot TT

Dan · Jun 2, 2012

Hey guys, just stumbled across this video on youtube, very impressive how it manages to hit balls back towards the end of the video! Check it out!

This video demonstrates how a Barrett WAM arm uses our mixture of motor primitives (MoMP) algorithm to learn successful hitting movements in table tennis using imitation and reinforcement Learning.

The future is near! T1000 will soon appear and beat us all in table tennis (among other things

)

Hahaa in the near future I hope there are textbook table tennis robot player which we can set into different styles of playing, probably imitating pros too..

and this video here is probably showing us one of the stepping stones

Very true Yosua! I believe technology is advancing so fast right now, that this may become a reality sooner than we think. I remember being in school and my science teacher told me soon ill be about to do video talks on my phone within 3 years. I thought it was impossible but it happened within 2 years

If researchers are using the latest technology on these prototypes will soon see something remarkable.

I believe this robot (video below) could possibly beat someone who has never touched a bat before

Haha thats amazing Bro

Almost 150 strokes with a human hitting partner.
Quite rad I say!

The little guy in the middle keeps track of the ball, his head going left to right 150 times

Would like to see some topspin though

That's impressive! I wouldn't call playing against that woman a challenge though... Volley server ftw!
