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 commercial 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.

There's crazy editing because this is a kuka robot ad. You'd need very fast, very accurate vision systems to play ping pong with a robot. For the time it would take the robot to even receive an image, do the math for the correct position and swing, the ball is already going to be off the table. I program a Fanuc R1000ia-30ib with said vision systems. It's all but 'fast'.

@chrismitchell4840 3 жыл бұрын

I learned to program KUKA weld bots years ago - 2 on a rail and one overhead utilizing a synchronized fixture table (350 deg rotation) that all 3 bots were welding at 1" per second (Miller square wave CLE power souce). Assemblies were very complex and had multiple weld requirements for each unit. Even set up a weld cell using (2) Foronius CMT power units on a KUKA longitudinal seam system to weld 30' galvanized grain elevator legs - 1 on each side and would weld at 3" /second (10 minute production rate). Used a 2 axis robotic arm (each side) rather than a fixed drive to increase production rate by position feedback to the bot controller since the leg sides were inconsistant surface level - basically each leg was made from 2 formed sides with 3 bends from various thickness (12-20 ga sheet metal). Using fixed rail modules that the stinger is mounted to requires head adjustment for each thickness. The KUKA position feedback auto adjusts as well as torch head angle compensation based on volt/amp/speed variables. Sorry, that was long - my comment is I never had an opportunity to utilize vision systems due to they were in infancy when I set up cells 15-20 years ago. The systems today are incredibly fast as proven in the video!

Dear spiegel, thank you for your feedback. We are sad to see that you did not enjoy our video, which we believe is a nice vision of our product. However, we did not announce a live game and believe that the video was entertaining for both robot and table tennis enthusiasts. Best regards

KukaRobotGroup Of course YOU would believe that it was entertaining for both robot and table tennis enthusiasts - and you are wrong. And please don't count # of times watched as proof you are right. That's just people like me curious to see the actual match - WITHOUT all of the horribly edited quick cuts, slow motion, close ups and sound effects. Just show the darned match! You can see by the approval vs. disapproval rating that it's running 50/50. In a well done marketing campaign the thumbs up should be MUCH higher than the thumbs down.

spiegel "To all laic who watched this video: A "live" match between a professional vs an industrial machine would riquired a lots of sensors, and a very complicated software to operate. That would be a very difficult thing to do, even if it is not impossible. Who is in the robotics can understand why this is not "live". The video only representsd the movement capability of the robot, what is quite impressive imo. Stop hating, they have to precisely program EVERY SINGLE MOVEMENT, what is in the vid, and Timo Boll had to aim for that one direction, with a precise timing, to do it right. Yeah i would fell of my chair if they would made it "live" but that is way too hard to deliver. Maybe a group of scientists could do it with enough resources. One day... :D Sry for bad english. Good vid." by me

spiegelmann82 I'd like to see where. Also i'd like to see where did kuka robotics stated that the game will be LIVE, and legit. It is just you guys who has no clue about robotics, and watched too much sci-fi think like this. A real robot engineer, or a person with brain understands this. This is not about winning, it's a showoff on an industrial robots capability. And also: it is not for u, it is for the costumers. U fail at understanding :)

The last part is very impressing!!! Even though I know that might be CGI, I still hope someone can really play that many balls at the same time in real life. BTW, Timo Boll looks so young at that time~ Now I am curious about how the game will be between them Since the robot arm is not able to move forward or backward, Timo should be able to beat it by placing the ball short

Well that was the most disappointing thing I've seen in a while. Staged plays, cgi, outrageous jump cuts. We were promised a duel between man and machine, and what we get is a choreographed fake match with no real meaning behind any of it. It doesn't showcase Timo's skill nor the precision/mobility of the KUKA. That was the whole reason for this video and only the tiniest glimpse of those aspects was shown.

This needs to be re-edited at a wider angle so that both human, table and machine arm can be seen in a single frame, then let the game play from start to finish without any special effects as primary footage ~ no CGI, no jump cuts, slow-mo only on replays.
