Sony AI Serves Robotics Milestone
⊲ The Guardian ⊳ Sony AI’s robot Ace has beaten elite table tennis players in matches played under official competition rules, winning three out of five against elite amateurs but losing both contests against professionals. Its eight-jointed arm uses multiple cameras to track ball position and spin, skills honed across 3,000 hours of simulated play. Ace handled difficult shots and produced a backspin return one former Olympic player had considered impossible. Scientists note the system has continued to improve since the Nature paper was submitted.
