"Ace displayed a mastery of spin, handled difficult shots, such as balls catching on the net, and pulled off one rapid backspin shot that a professional had thought impossible."
"Building an intelligent robot takes the challenge to the next level by requiring the machine to enact decisions effectively."
"By zooming in on the ball's logo, the camera system can estimate the ball's spin and axis of rotation in the milliseconds it takes to reach Ace's end of the table."
Ace, an AI-powered robot developed by Sony AI, has won three out of five matches against elite table tennis players, marking a significant achievement in robotics. Despite losing two matches against professionals, Ace demonstrated advanced skills, including mastery of spin and handling difficult shots. The robot's design features an eight-jointed arm and a camera system that tracks the ball's position and spin. The project involved extensive training, with Ace honing its skills over 3,000 hours of gameplay, showcasing the advancements in AI technology in competitive sports.
