Viral video: Google's AI robot achieves human level competitiveness at table tennis

Artificial intelligence may be capable of things beyond our comprehension as technology advances and researchers upgrade and test it on a regular basis. AI robots, for example, are being trained to be as close to humans as possible. They are folding laundry, doing chores, solving puzzles, and this one plays table tennis like a pro athlete. Here's what we are talking about.?

Which robot plays table tennis like a pro??

In a recent breakthrough, DeepMind, Google's AI company, organized a match between its robot and 29 skilled table tennis players.?

They played competitive matches against 29 table tennis players of various skill levels, including beginner, intermediate, advanced, and advanced+, as determined by a certified table tennis instructor, to evaluate our agent's degree of ability.

How did the robot perform??

As per the research, "humans played three games against the robot following standard table tennis rules with some modifications because the robot is physically unable to serve the ball. Against all opponents, the robot won 45% of matches and 46% of games. Broken down by skill level, we see the robot won all matches against beginners, lost all matches against the advanced and advanced+ players, and won 55% of matches against intermediate players."?

Why was this experiment carried out??

The goal of this experiment was to assess "human-level performance in terms of accuracy, speed, and adaptability". The company additionally stated that "no prior research in robotic TableTennis has addressed the challenge of a robot playing a full competitive game against previously unseen humans."

Not just this robot there are other robots who are competing with human beings. Take this robot for example, watch the viral video below.
