Human vs. robot: Ping-pong match against Forpheus

2018-01-11
this is for pious it's a robotic ping-pong table that teaches you how to play it's made by Omron and it's not going to get to consumers but it's merely this showcase their main technologies and of course there's the obvious there's the robotics behind all this the robotic arm and the robot here in the background that's feeding in the balls but there's also some artificial intelligence because as Andy's playing it can detect his skillsets and adapt accordingly it's also got some face detecting cameras here on the top that are reading his facial features to see how his stress level is and adapt accordingly so it's got a lot of artificial intelligence and as he gets better the robot gets harder so Andy's pretty much a pro at this level and I have not had a lot of experience playing ping pong so let's see if it can teach me how to play and if you can teach me it can pretty much use anybody here goes I think I've stumped a robot I can't learn and once the players done it displays all the information up here on the screen including the photographs that were taken by the cameras and I think I'm beyond any help at this time but I did feel myself getting a little bit better so the AI on this machine definitely does work and for more tech make sure to check out all our CES coverage at cnn.com
