Watch Sony’s elite ping-pong robot beat top-ranked players

Humans have been building ping-pong playing robots for decades, with notable examples like Omron's FORPHEUS that challenged amateur competitors at CES 2017. However, what sets Sony's new robot, named 'Ace', apart from the rest is its unprecedented capability. Developed by Sony's AI division, Ace is the first robot that can truly hold its own against top-ranked human players and occasionally even secure victories against them, marking a significant leap in robotic sportsmanship.
