Technology is rapidly advancing around the world, and new experiments are constantly taking place in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, researchers at Google DeepMind have created a robot that can play table tennis and has defeated many players so far. This robot is equipped with a 6 DoF ABB 1100 arm, which helps it perform better in this game.
How does this robot work
This robot is made up of many small and big parts. Its big parts are for making decisions thoughtfully, while the small parts are made for special tasks. Researchers have designed it in such a way that it can change itself according to its opponent's game and make the right decision.
Although this robot has defeated many beginners, it faced a lot of difficulties when it faced professional players. It lost all the matches against pro players. This is because the robot takes some time to make a decision and then respond. It faces difficulty in handling fast balls because the game has to be stopped every time and it has limited information to learn. Scientists are planning to improve new control methods and the machine to solve this problem.
Players' reaction
After playing with the robot, 26 out of 29 players have expressed their desire to play it again. The players say that they enjoyed the experience of playing with the robot and they are ready to challenge it again.
prospects
If such innovations in the field of AI and robotics continue, in the future, we may see robots playing alongside humans in big sporting events like the Olympics. With the growing capabilities of robotics and AI, the approach to sports is becoming even more interesting, and these technological developments can play an important role in giving a new direction to sports.
