Much like the robots beating half marathon records in China recently… who cares? Cake making robots can make cakes way faster than human bakers. Cars and motorcycles go faster than bicyclists. It is a boring given that purpose made machines perform the tasks they are built to perform better than humans.
- jedberg 6mo agoIt's an amazing feat of engineering because it requires constant micro-adjustments, something that robots couldn't do a few years ago.
- allthetime 6mo agoYeah, thinking through it a bit further, the real story here, aside from the mechanical engineering, is the application of AI/machine learning/computer vision processing. The advancements that have made it possible to reason about, simulate, and react to the complexities of a spinning ball in a fraction of a second are pretty cool. My gripe is mostly that this article isn't focusing on and detailing this.

- hydrolox 6mo agoisn't this a technology forum?
- allthetime 6mo agoThe article's main focus is on the "vs. human" aspect and is light on technical details. I would love to hear specifics from the engineers behind this.
