Historic First: Bipedal Robots Duel in Fully Autonomous Table Tennis Match!

In a groundbreaking demonstration, two bipedal humanoid robots showcased their prowess by playing a complete 11-point table tennis match autonomously. Developed by researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Chaowei Motion, this achievement marks the first humanoid-vs-humanoid game without human intervention. The robots utilized an innovative technology called SMASH, integrating motion control and perception. The demonstration precedes the Second World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, set for August 22, amplifying excitement in robotic sports.
