Anomalocaris Posted July 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2015 This ad from Omron Automation & Safety intends to make advanced automation seem fun, but the execution makes it seem like your future will depend on whether you win your sudden death table tennis match with a robotic version of the Aliens xenomorph. Our robot overlords will excel at ping-pong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblykiss Posted July 30, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Finally all the thrill of ping pong with none of that abysmal dread of human interaction..... Watch "Golan the Insatiable - Season 2 Episode 5 - On Golan Pond" there is a drink mixing robot named PartyBot who is haunted by what happened in Azerbaijan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted July 31, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2015 That looks fun. I haven't played table tennis since I was a kid, it would be interesting to play against an actual robot. Where do I sign up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted July 31, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I don't think they are marketing a ping-pong robot... The company makes industrial "pick and place" robotic assembly machines... I use to program a couple lines of robots from the Quad company... They are used to assemble electronic circuit boards, etc... This video shows another companys P&P system, but all of them basically work the same way... This one is MUCH nicer than the old system I had to deal with... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted July 31, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) I don't think they are marketing a ping-pong robot... No they're not. I still like the idea of playing against one though. Edited July 31, 2015 by Still Waters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
