Robo ping-pong: Stanford students design, 'teach' robots to play
Published on Jul 17, 2015
After learning new software and programming languages, Stanford students in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have an opportunity to choose a creative task and design a robot to perform the task for demonstration. The tasks call for a wide range of fundamental skills, but generally require the robot to sense where it is in space, detect objects around it, and then autonomously interact with those objects in its environment. Recent projects include pingpong, the Japanese cup-and-ball game, Kendama, and a landing pad that helps a quad-copter touch down safely.

Spin detection in robotic table tennis
Jun 5, 2020
In a real table tennis environment, our KUKA Agilus KR6 R900 robot arm has to respond to different spin types. The rotation of the ball is derived from the ball's trajectory. In our paper, we evaluate two additional methods for spin detection.

Could we bring out the hidden charms of sports by combining the draw of Sony’s designs with the strength of its technologies? That was the question that gave rise to the Sports & AI Project. In this article, project members take us behind the scenes to discuss the events behind the effort—a collaborative initiative that made a big splash with broadcast professionals when the project was revealed at CES 2020.

AI table tennis robot learned to play in just 90 minutes
Dec 10, 2021
A table tennis-playing robot can play a fair part in a rally against humans – but like many amateur players, struggles when attempting fancier shots.
Yapeng Gao, Jonas Tebbe and Andreas Zell at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, Germany trained a machine learning algorithm to learn how to play table tennis. That algorithm then sent signals to a robot that allowed it to accurately play shots to within an average of 24.9 centimetres of the intended location.

Haptic Device 2.0 demo: Table tennis
Jan 19, 2022
The table tennis demo below demonstrates that the upgraded haptic device can also perform complex tasks involving quick motions. The racket must swiftly be positioned in the right place in line with the incoming ball. At the moment of impact (when hitting the ball), it must move with sufficient speed and in the correct direction. The table tennis demo would not have succeeded were the haptic device ever so slightly heavy or if there was a delay in transmitting the size and direction of the force from the human’s movement to the robot.
