💡OMRON’s updated ping pong robot can serve and take smashes.
FORPHEUS, now at its fourth generation, features improved AI to boost its responsiveness — so much that it can now predict and attempt to deal with smashes. Compared to the earlier versions which went easy on me, I found this one to be far more enjoyable with faster rallies. Better yet, there’s now a companion robot arm that throws a ball up and lets FORPHEUS serve, thus making the robot a more realistic trainer or opponent.
