羽毛球机器人如何“看得清”“动得准”？（创新汇）

Group 1 - A new bipedal robot developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich can predict the trajectory of a badminton shuttlecock and adjust its position to hit it back to a human opponent, showcasing advanced perception and coordination capabilities [2][3] - The robot's ability to track the shuttlecock relies on a perception noise model that quantifies the impact of its own movements on target tracking, allowing it to adapt to dynamic blurs and occlusions [3][4] - The robot can perform 10 consecutive hits in a single rally with nearly 100% success rate for shots landing in the center of the court, demonstrating its effective coordination of 18 joints through a unified control framework [3][4] Group 2 - The average time for the robot to react from detecting an opponent's hit to executing a swing is approximately 0.35 seconds, indicating room for improvement in its perception and response capabilities [4] - Future enhancements will involve integrating more sensors and optimizing visual algorithms, aiming to extend the robot's applications beyond sports to complex scenarios requiring rapid response and coordination [4] - Bipedal robots are expected to gain traction in various fields such as industrial applications, entertainment, home life, and elder care, driven by advancements in AI and robotics, leading to lower production costs and enhanced functionalities [5]
