Sony AI builds a table tennis robot that reacts faster than humans can see

Sony AI’s autonomous table tennis robot Ace uses synchronized cameras and learned control to react at superhuman speed.

Ace can compete with elite players under official rules, showing strong performance in fast, human-like physical tasks.

The system highlights progress in real-time robotics that sense, decide, and act quickly enough for demanding environments.

Sony AI says the approach could extend to manufacturing, service robotics, and other human-adjacent applications.
