🎾Your humanoid tennis player is here!🤖 Introducing LATENT (Learning Athletic Humanoid Tennis Skills from Imperfect Human Motion Data) — the world’s first real-time whole-body planning and control algorithm for athletic humanoid tennis. For the first time, a humanoid robot can sustain high-dynamic, long-horizon tennis rallies with millisecond-level reactions, precise... ball striking, and natural whole-body motion. This marks a leap from mechanical motion imitation to intelligent, decision-driven athletic interaction. #Galbot #Robotics #Innovation #AI #Technology #Humanoidshow more

The robot can return balls fed to it. I would love to see a video of a robot vs a professional tennis player, or see it serve a ball.

That's such a great idea! We'll do a video of it😀

No surprise. As in chess, or Go...the time is coming when robotic AI will be able to beat any human in any game. I could see it (eventually) returning everything as an unreachable ace. The far larger question/significance regards how will this tech be used?

Give it a couple years and it will be undefeated vs any human on earth. And a month later people will move on like its no big deal and seek the next *impossible feat. And so on it will go until there is nothing left to be better than us at. The age of machine intelligence.

If Björn Cyborg isn't calibrated for topspin, I bet I can eventually make him throw his racket.

Pretty cool

Thanks!

say hello to my new ball machine, group liveball feeder, and coach, cant wait to see it in a year or 2, maybe it will actually be able to move and play at a high level, which would be amazing for training, next gen of tennis players will be crazy good with something like this

this wouldn't even make the jv team. the backhand needs lots of work. yet it'll probably show progress in 6 months, if it practices

This is the beginning of the end.

The challenge is for the robot to track the ball’s trajectory, predict its path and calculate fast. It must stay stable, with extremely precise racket speed and hitting angles. Great work, keep it up! Expect more robot sports partners.

I guess the robot is going to get my girlfriend after he beats me at tennis, isn't he?

Impressive. @grok based on this video, in how many years robot can compete with human on playing tennis?

The movement reminds me of Andre Agassi. Was he used as a model?

They should have waited until it was capable of playing like an adult. Having its opponents gently lobbying carefully placed shots intended to limit reaction time/distance challenges for the walking coat hanger is embarrassingly obvious.

Good for learning and training on one’s own- I used to play on something called a comeback- the tennis ball would swing on a piece of elasticized rubber and kept me busy for quite a while. Robots can become good teachers maybe. 🤔

If it can return a couple of lobs now, then within months it will be better than most humans.

It's getting softballs like a politician gets from a CNN presstitute.

We are in trouble!

They need to make a Hockey Goalie. We’re always short goalies.

LMK when they can vacuum and dust the house!

It looks like it's playing with an oversized tennis racquet

Not terrifying at all.

Very impressive! It appears that the robot also knows where to get the ball going to win the opponent.
