Researchers at the University of Freiburg in Germany have worked long and hard to build… a robot that can play foosball:
KiRo is a completely autonomous table soccer playing robot: using a camera it perceives the playing field and, depending upon the current game situation, it decides how the rods under its control should be moved.
I suppose that eventually they’re going to build robots that can play (and beat) humans in every game just to prove that it can be done, but a foosball robot?
