How a robot rallies ping pong with an Olympic champion
A robot rallies ping pong with Ding Ning, the 2016 Olympic champion. The clip shows forehand and backhand returns that keep the ball alive across a regulation table.
The impressive part is generalization. The paddle is placed in the robot's hand each time, so exact grip orientation varies, yet the robot still adjusts mid-rally.
