Kuka, the fastest robot in the world, plays ping-pong against Timo Boll.

Kuka, the fastest robot in the world, plays ping-pong against Timo Boll.

Though the music and the lighting are slightly over the top, it's still pretty awesome to watch a robot and a human play a professional-level game of table tennis and make it look natural. KUKA's video is definitely absurdist, but also self-deprecating in a cool way. At the end the screen reads, “Not the best at table tennis, but probably the best in robotics.” Solid humble brag.


Fascinating!
