Bench model of robots playing baseball

Basically, all modern models of robots are notable for their slowness and awkwardness. This is due to the lack of computational power, and most importantly, the slow performance of the peripherals currently available on the market. However, now, industrial high-speed cameras and server clusters have become available which gradually allow us to solve the problem of the “reaction” of the robot.



A group of Japanese scientists from the University of Tokyo, under the leadership of Dr. Ishikawa Kamura (Inshikawa Komuro), chose the baseball game as an exponential one - the problems with the speed of information processing are most apparent. One player must aim and throw the ball with the maximum speed, and the second player should track the ball and coordinate the bat in such a way as to repel it.

As you can see from the video, they succeeded quite well. One part of the robot throws the ball, two high-speed cameras make each 1000 frames per second, the control system calculates and corrects the movement of bits every 0.001 seconds. In addition, it should be noted that the hands of robots are assembled on the basis of the fastest and most accurate mechanical drives to date - this makes their movements smooth, almost similar to human ones.
