Quadruped Robot Tees Up for Badminton Showdown with Human Opponents Using AI Technology

Engineers at ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab have created a four-legged robot called ANYmal-D that can play badminton with people using AI technology, combining robotics and artificial intelligence to create an interactive sports experience. The robot was developed to bring together these fields in a unique way, allowing it to move around the court and hit the shuttlecock. Researchers are now testing the robot's abilities to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
