Improved Ping Pong robot wins against me!

Published on Oct 11, 2015

I loose against the Omron robot in pong pong. They are tuning and improving it, while claiming that this is to show Robots collaboration with humans, they focus on trying to see all slices and lifts and to beat real champions next. Omron also shows some of their other smart sensors, mechanics, for wearables, smart home, self-driving cars and more.
