That was the uncanny valley for me, the fact that Terminator got the movement even more correct than I expected it would be. I had thought that, though cool at the time, that the movement 'seemed fake' yet this video shows it to be *much more, life-like?...lol
It couldn't even retrieve the ball when it missed, it just stood there. So maybe it could load stuff into the machine for you, is that what you had in mind? A wee way to go yet...
Nah, the by far coolest thing about this table tennis robot is that an employee can just say "i'm going to create more high quality training data for the ai" and then just play table tennis with it 😂
This has the bones to be the ultimate table tennis trainer here. I like how the objective truth was not a win/loss metric. Instead, they optimized for on the fun level / would you play again. There is a life lesson there.
They didnt optimize it on the fun level. That was just a statistic they took at the end. It probably get's +1, when the ball passes the net and -1 if it doesent catch it.
I'd say that they intentionally film it in a [high frame rate + fast shutter speed] in order to keep better track of movements and ball. It looks like this when you set you phone video recording to super slow-motion, which does the same of the camera setting
'Classical' table tennis robots are much stronger players. This is basic research just good enough to play with casual players. It sure is a great milestone, but not a competitive one-yet.
Notice where the humans are hitting the ball, rarely does the ball land deeper than half-court, I find this rather odd and it seems intentional, it almost seems catering to the machine's (current) abilities, ie. while there are a couple deep shots in the video, does it have trouble with those? The mechanism itself seems oddly placed deep into the court, when you are playing your paddle is often behind the court (as exhibited by the humans in both examples), only moving in on short balls, though we can't expect optimal machine paddle placement to be equal to optimal for human, just an observation. The human around 4:05 is certainly hitting deeper into the court than the previous examples, and while we don't have a true side view, this machine, the paddle, appears to be positioned more towards the back of the court than the first, notice how it positions its paddle to the side, where the former machine tries to rest stretch centered, unhuman.
I believe that VR will be an important infrastructure for robot training in the future. A highly realistic physics engine, along with creating digital twins of all robot-related components, will enable the construction of reinforcement learning in a virtual environment. This approach is definitely more likely to achieve goals than directly building robots. I think autonomous driving is also at a turning point from Alpha Go to Alpha Zero; the integrity of real-world data is no longer sufficient to cover all unexpected situations. In the future, countless virtual autonomous vehicles and corresponding sensing systems will be placed on virtual roads for environmental testing.
i imagine google vs openai robot playing table tennis and we all don't have to go to the event because it's live streaming for 3 years before 1 of the robot hit 1 score LOL
Just ignore that this isn't a one man project in someones basement. There's no way anyone or anything outside the view of a camera exists, cameras see everything. always.
@@willguggn2 You didn’t recognize this was a joke? Here’s the explanation of the joke. It’s rather ridiculous to wear a mask playing ping pong. Even ignoring the lack of effectiveness of masks, there’s certainly no danger when you’re playing ping pong,so the image of a person playing ping pong in a mask is already absurd, and that the other entity involved is a robot compounds the absurdity.
@@ewallt Bots like this with classic programming have been beating high level pros for ten years or so and have been making the rounds for even longer. Do you consider chess computers to be hilarious, too?
They are playing at a beginners level, and the human players seem to be taking it easy on the bot by not smashing or looping the ball. Any table tennis players in the world's top 100,000 should be able to beat this bot.
Chess was conquered and it’s more popular than ever now. Humans like playing against and watching other humans. Your dream will only be more likely with this, not less.

It moves like 80's CGI.

I would love to know more about why that is. Was PID smoothing and other techniques harmful to the simulation training or just unnecessary?
Chinese father seeing how Google and not his son is now the best at go and ping pong
And his son isn't married, he has brought dishonor to our house and now 我们丢脸了。
"even tin box than you now! I cut your allowance!"
Yes, but it still doesn't know how to wear the obligatory mask for propaganda points
If a robot can play table tennis then it can do the laundry. Sign me up !
Said like a stern father. 'If you are old enough to smoke cigarettes, you are old enough to pitch in on the rent.'😝
I say, cooking would be a revolution.

The life lesson then is to be vary wary of those who are scamming you by pretending to be empathic.

B-But... It will never be able to play snooker 😂
I like how the robot looks sad when it hits the ball into the net.
There should be two bots playing against each other.
Why does this robot look like stop-motion animation? Seriously, where's the motion blur?
I'd say that they intentionally film it in a [high frame rate + fast shutter speed] in order to keep better track of movements and ball. It looks like this when you set you phone video recording to super slow-motion, which does the same of the camera setting
@@glamdrag I agree with you, and knowing that, I'm entirely impressed with the amount of speed and torque that engine is able to dish out.

I’m excited to see how well they’re “aligning” AI
they could legit sell the arm as an at home table tennis bot! i would buy the product and the stock!
You might be disappointed at the price of those robotic arms. Still in the tens of thousands AFAIK.
'Classical' table tennis robots are much stronger players. This is basic research just good enough to play with casual players. It sure is a great milestone, but not a competitive one-yet.
I like having a look at robotics as well as ai when a break through is acieved. Especially since they are so closely related.

I wonder how this differs from and improves upon the ping-pong robot that was at CES around 2015.
And this is why ping pong tables need to be in more places of work. Look how much stuff got accomplished!

Did Ray Harryhausen program the robots movement?
Robots that can do this are literally 10 years old. Seen this by Omron on Hannover Fair in 2014.
Cant wait for an objective review of the new GROK 2 just dropped.

Well, now I have to make a dishwashing robot. I also have to not give it knives.
the robot should play against Jensen
but can it serve
How does Google define disciplinary silos.
table tennis robot is missing a wrist. very important for table tennis. but still i want one
Good thing the guy had a mask on. Wouldn’t want to catch COVID from the robot!

robots movement looks way weird. like stop motion or something. Wonder if it's stepper servos or something. very quick movements. freaky.
So freakin cool! Go bot!

That's what researchers come up with to have an excuse to play table tennis on work
