As
technology continues to evolve in modern times, a non-human table
tennis teacher has been unveiled and has gotten people talking.
FORPHEUS
An advanced robot developed by Japanese electronics company Omron
has recently been certified by Guinness World Records as the world’s
first robot table tennis tutor, Guinness World Records reports
FORPHEUS (Future Omron Robotics Technology for Exploring
Possibility of Harmonized Automation with Sinic Theoretics) used machine
learning to asses the skills of a human player, adjust its game
accordingly and provide tips to help opponents improve their technique.
Unveiled at the Ceatec electronics show in Japan in 2014, FORPHEUS
has come a long way in the last three years, especially after developers
made a breakthrough in artificial intelligence. Originally designed to
showcase Omron’s sensor technology, the table tennis-playing robot has
now become a Guinness-certified tutor thanks to machine learning.
It analyzes data like the human player’s movement, the speed of the
ball and the trajectory to determine his opponent’s skill level with
around 90% accuracy. FORPHEUS then uses this information to adjust its
play style – slow and and easy for beginners, faster and more
unpredictable for advanced players.
FORPHEUS is equipped with two vision sensors that identify the
movement of the ball, and one motion sensor that monitors the movement
of the opponent.
A controller analyses the speed of the ball at one thousands times
per second, allowing to predict where it is going to land and react
accordingly. The AI component can also determine the spot where the
return from FORPHEUS will land with an accuracy of withing 5
centimeters, and this is projected on a screen so that the human
“students” can prepare and improve their game.
The special net of FORPHEUS’ ping pong table also acts as a digital
display, where the human players can see encouraging messages aimed to
motivate them, like “Good job!” or “Hang in there!”, but also valuable tips aimed to help them step up their game.
“At the moment it is a human who teaches a robot how to behave or teach,” said FORPHEUS developer Taku Oya. “But in the next 20 years it may be possible that a robot teaches a robot or a robot develops a robot.”
That may sound sci-fi, but the idea is in line with what most
experts believe will happen as artificial intelligence becomes more
advanced.
