Man against machine.
The unbelievably fast KUKA robot faces off against one of the best table tennis players of all time. Who has the best technique? Who will win the first ever table tennis duel of human versus robot?
Watch this thrilling preview of table tennis and robotics performed at the highest level. The KUKA KR AGILUS demonstrates its skills with the table tennis racket - a realistic vision of what robots can be capable of in the future.
Timo Boll, the German table tennis star, is the new brand ambassador for KUKA Robotics in China. The collaboration celebrates the inherent speed, precision, and flexibility of KUKA's industrial robots in tandem with Boll's electrifying and tactical prowess in competition. To celebrate the new KUKA Robotics factory in Shanghai, the thrilling video was a highlight of the Grand Opening on March 11th, 2014. The 20,000 sq. meter space will produce the KR QUANTEC series robot as well as the KRC4 universal controller for the Asian market. As a market leader in China, KUKA aims to further develop automation in the country while providing a modern and employee-friendly working environment.

The people at KUKA have no integrity for doing this. We were all expecting a live match of man vs. machine and instead we get this overly edited bullshit with quick cuts, slow motion and close-ups (used to hide its fakeness) as well as what is supposed to be inspirational music and sound effects to supposedly make it more interesting (name one sport that does that during play) . The people at KUKA who made and marketed this campaign are scumbags.

Of course the ad could be better, maybe we have to wait another 30 years to have a good machine that can compete with man.

People who didn't read the description may not realise this is an _advertisment_ ... "a vision" ... a "realistic preview". A lot of people in the comments here have assumed this is real ... and the fact that it is not should have been stated more clearly for some. Where is the vision system? How were there so many camera angles (including some mobile) ... yet no camera ever caught sight of another? This is a good example for brushing up on your critical thinking skills, so as to be less likely to become duped in future.

tsp the ball barely over the net down the line. The robot will most likely not be able to reach that far but if it manages to, no matter where it returns the ball it leave the other side wide open for a smash
