Human-beating ping-pong AI learned to play in a simulated environment.

Cool, motor drive, cameras, neural networks....
Speed!

Now to the olympics with AI!

I played a couple of games with the world's 16th best table tennis
player. I couldn't return a single shot. At the pro level, it's all
about english, spin, and I doubt that the AI thing could handle that.

He wasn't a very good engineer.

My table tennis is bad, almost never played it... and when I did I lost.
Chess was better :-) Football OK too.
We had a hockey team at school, played, but not realy my thing.
But I wonder, there was this women boxer at the olympics that broke down in tears
when she got knocked out by a trans male...
Now if that can play why not RobbyBot against humans?

Only is the robot says "female" on its passport.
