Four-legged robot plays badminton with humans

Description :

Researchers at ETH Zurich’s Robotic Systems Lab have created a four-legged robot, named ANYmal-D, capable of playing badminton with humans. The robot, described in Science Robotics, uses a stereo camera, a dynamic arm, and a reinforcement-learning-based controller to track and hit a shuttlecock. The team also implemented a “perception noise model” to help the robot adapt to real-world play, TechXplore has reported. Testing showed that ANYmal-D could move around the court and rally with human players for up to 10 consecutive shots. read more: 👍 Like this video to spotlight the incredible advancements in robotics, with ANYmal-D showing us the future of sports technology. 💬 Comment below—do you think robots like ANYmal-D will one day become our sports partners or even competitors? 🔗 Share this video to amaze your friends with how far robotics has come in blending with human activities like badminton. 💰 Want to support the channel?
