Table
tennis has always been a passionate national game in C6hina and they
are very good at it. But the latest trend is playing the game or a
match with Robots. The following photo show 2 humanoid robots, (each
measures 1,60 metre tall and weigh 53 kilos). They were presented in
Peking at the Exhibition of High Technology, as real opponents in the
match with human Sportsmen.
They
can capture 120 images per second and able to calculate exactly where
the Ping Pong ball is going to land on the table, therefore can catch
& return it with the maximum speed and precision. No human had yet
been able to win the game!
This
bottom photo shows the robot called 'DeeChee' with a team of
scientists in the University of the United Kingdom of Britain, being
taught to speak. endowed with the intelligence similar to a baby of
between 6 to 14 months. After interaction with humans, DeeChee was able
to babbling to forming comprehensible words designating objects,
colours & vocabulary spontaneously. He learns quickly, achieving
saying his first phrases in the continuous 8 minutes, although, for the
moment, he doesn't know yet what he has said means. Quite incredible!
