    Human-beating ping-pong AI learned to play in a simulated environment.

    Cool, motor drive, cameras, neural networks....
    Speed!

    Now to the olympics with AI!

    I played a couple of games with the world's 16th best table tennis
    player. I couldn't return a single shot. At the pro level, it's all
    about english, spin, and I doubt that the AI thing could handle that.

    He wasn't a very good engineer.

    My table tennis is bad, almost never played it... and when I did I lost.
    Chess was better :-) Football OK too.
    We had a hockey team at school, played, but not realy my thing.
    But I wonder, there was this women boxer at the olympics that broke down in tears
    when she got knocked out by a trans male...
    Now if that can play why not RobbyBot against humans?
