a feeling that I would lose a badminton match with a robot was definitely not on my 2026 bingo yet here we are...

make it use legs, comparable upper limb length and a regulation racket, you'll be fine, for now

I always feel like it's a bit of a cheat to have cameras all around to help the robot know exactly where it is on the court and also triangulate the position of the shuttlecock (or ball or whatever). If I had a couple people who would stand at the edges of the court and could yell to me to let me know if a shot would definitely be in or out, I'd definitely do a little better.

Lose to a car?

This makes me wonder if someone could do something similar with tennis and beat @GalbotRobotics (impressive) humanoid Maybe the force is too much though

@grok how build this robot?

Honestly the robot probably has unfair reflexes

Don't feel bad. Camera + trajectory model beats human reaction time every time. Its weakness is footwork. Yours too, probably lol.

Just wait until the robot learns how to aggressively celebrate every point.

What are you saying. It is a game changer for lonely people

Next time let him grab a screwdriver, not a racket😁
