A fifth-generation upgrade of the world's first table tennis robot coach, Forpheus features an array of cameras that can monitor the position of the ball at a rate of 220 times per second, up from 80 times in the earlier version.
Developed by Japanese electronics company Omron, in an effort to improve its sensing technology, the function also allows the robot to show its human students a projected image of where the return ball will land so that they can improve their skills.
