[Abstract] The table tennis robot is just a representative of Omron's conceptual stage for the future robot society. Omron has actually divided the development of the robot into three phases, including service, cooperation and promotion.
After Tencent Digital's 2016 Olympic Games, the Chinese table tennis team has become a well-deserved online red. The "Emperor Tiger" Zhang Jike and "Empire Destruction Dragon" Malone not only showed us superb skills, but also made table tennis a bit more interesting than in previous years.
For table tennis athletes, high-level sparring is an indispensable factor in improving the level of sports. However, if you don't like the national players and do not have special sparring, what should you do? This week hardware manufacturer Omron released a brand new table tennis robot, and this robot can help us improve the level of table tennis without the need for special sparring personnel.
The table tennis robot is equipped with two visual sensors that measure the opponent's position in combination with a motion sensor, and can serve up to 80 times per minute, and can also predict the running trajectory of the table tennis through artificial intelligence technology. To hit the ball from humans.
Omron said that the FORPHEUS table tennis robot has adopted the most advanced technology in the world, and through the efforts of robots can help humans further enhance their capabilities. With FORPHEUS, we can also experience what kind of experience humans and robots share in the future.
This OMRON ping-pong robot, through its unique forecasting theory, can make judgments on human hitting routes and further promote human creativity and possibilities.
The table tennis robot is just a representative of Omron's conceptual stage for the future robot society. In fact, Omron has divided the development of the robot into three stages. The first stage is that robots replace humans to complete basic repetitive labor. At present, automated operations such as pipeline robots commonly used in factories fall into this category.
The second stage is the cooperation between humans and robots. For example, in the factory, the operator and the robot jointly complete the production and assembly on the same assembly line, and improve the production efficiency through the most suitable collocation.
The third stage is the harmonious coexistence of humans and robots and the expansion of human capabilities. In the future, robots will become part of society, and humans will enjoy the new lifestyle brought by robots, and further explore potential. Like this FORPHEUS table tennis robot, robots similar to FORPHEUS will appear in various fields in the future.
