Ok, so we are all pretty much resigned to the fact that robots are probably going to take over the world sometime in the future; but can’t we at least have air hockey! Not if this team of Japanese researchers from Chiba University’s Namiki Lab have anything to say about it. Led by Professor Akio Namiki, the researchers have developed an air-hockey robot that is skillful enough to compete against, and even beat, human players. Come on robots, don’t you have better things to worry about, like world domination. Even though there have been similar robots developed earlier, this one stands out owing to its ability to change its strategy based on its human opponent’s playing style. The “robot” is actually an intricate system consisting of an air-hockey table, a Barrett four-axis robotic arm, two high-speed cameras, and an external PC. The lab had already made major progress in high-speed tracking in the course of their other projects. They have applied it to the air hockey game, by having the robot track the puck and opponent’s paddle. The position data from the camera images is then processed by the external PC, which determines the robot’s next move. It is capable of tracking the game at a mind-boggling 500 frames per second!
