Incredible work by Sony published in @Nature today! 🏓 They’ve built “Ace”, an autonomous ping-pong robot that uses RL and Sony’s vision sensors to achieve expert-level play in ping pong. A huge leap forward for adaptive robotics. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10338-5 Media For 40+ years, building a robot that could rally with an elite human table tennis player at full speed was an unsolved problem. Sony AI's Ace research project set out to change that—and the results are now accepted for publication in @Nature and featured on the cover.
