FORPHEUS – Robot Ping Pong Tutor

Meet FORPHEUS from Omron: a table tennis robot that serves as your training partners as you play the game. It has a sensor to measure the position of its opponent and the movement of the ball 80 times per second. It also predicts the trajectory of the ball and hits it back. It can project the landing point of the ball too.

Pretty cool, don’t you think?
