Ace AI Driven Table Tennis Robot Dealing with the Unexpected

Table tennis robots are getting a lot better. They are becoming more effective at handling harder, faster shots. Take Ace for instance: it is an AI driven robotic system that can compete with professional players. It uses 12 high speed sensors, including three IMX636 event-based vision sensors. It tracks 40mm balls and measures spins over 9000 revolutions per minute.

Ace relies on a deep Reinforcement Learning trained control policy. As the above video shows, it can also react well to the unexpected.
