- Man against machine.
The unbelievably fast KUKA robot faces off against one of the best table tennis players of all time. Who has the best technique? Who will win the first ever table tennis duel of human versus robot?
Watch this thrilling preview of table tennis and robotics performed at the highest level. The KUKA KR AGILUS demonstrates its skills with the table tennis racket - a realistic vision of what robots can be capable of in the future.
Timo Boll, the German table tennis star, is the new brand ambassador for KUKA Robotics in China. The collaboration celebrates the inherent speed, precision, and flexibility of KUKA's industrial robots in tandem with Boll's electrifying and tactical prowess in competition. To celebrate the new KUKA Robotics factory in Shanghai, the thrilling video was a highlight of the Grand Opening on March 11th, 2014. The 20,000 sq. meter space will produce the KR QUANTEC series robot as well as the KRC4 universal controller for the Asian market. As a market leader in China, KUKA aims to further develop automation in the country while providing a modern and employee-friendly working environment.

Overedited, all I want is a live game.
its not a real bot its an ad. The computer has no way of seeing the ball lol
@@ethernet389 ...so, there are self-driving cars, and you think there's no way to have a robot arm track a table tennis ball?... fascinating.
@@abates3747 they mean this specific robot lmao, this is just an ad no tracking etc... robot is a programmed actor lmao
@@mehmedcanozkan3268 , yes, this was a staged thing, but I promise they could set up tracking with this scene and have it look no different. Do you know how lenses work?... computer vision is just a camera, put the cameras back in the shadows, use lenses to get the framing how they need, calibrate the software as to where the positions are, and away they go.
@@abates3747 exactly what I wrote, you’re saying they “could”, but I was just saying they didn’t ... ? Don’t know why you’re so confused
Knowing how many lines of coding and men/hours of research there are inside a 6 axes robotic arm, I feel deeply in awe for this video!
They did a great job making this so dramatic, I guess that's a good thing to gain more table tennis fans but for the already table tennis fans and people who often watch table tennis matches would probably feel unsatisfied.
I love the way the robot serves. Btw there is no way a robot can match the speed and randomness of a decent player. At the moment
Now yes
only a person who doesn't understand computers, programming, technology would say that.
@@lupusk9productions yes
@@lupusk9productions nah he’s right
In the current day and age no machine can beat a decent tt player no matter how elevated the machine is... it’s just too hard
Maybe 5 years in the future we could see some exciting machines between humans and machines but for now... not even close
@@lupusk9productions only a person who doesn’t know about tt would say it. Till this moment the only robots who can actually match good players compete just because when you go against them you have to use a special racquet which can track your movements and usually is very slow. A good fast shot and they physically won’t be able to get it back due to their structure
Would have been a better commercial using Forest Gump 🤣
the problem isnt the comercial, it is what they made us belive...
knowing we all where goona spect a real match, not just a fancy commercial
Countless hours of programming. $30,000 for a one arm robot. The look on the human's face after only round two, priceless...
What a production!! that was great!!
!Excelente video!, buena publicidad, creíble y original, se le abona la creatividad, y Timo Boll muy bien en este interesante reto.
Is no one talking about how Timo is flipping the bat to his right hand on two occasions in the first rally?
A good video, a little different, but still a good video and great work.
Kuka robotics makes industrial robots mostly. The recent release from Boston Dynamic: the mini robotic dog may play a better game if a metal arm with a butterfly blade and rubber are installed. More important, it has legs. Really scary !
yeah i knew it was just commercial not a real deal
Timo Boll is so great in table tennis I just can't believe he would lose so many marks!
Set the video play speed to 0.25 and watch from 1:56. Thank me later.
wait ha completly missed the ball
KUKA Robot vs KUKA Robot?
People who didn't read the description may not realise this is an _advertisment_ ... "a vision" ... a "realistic preview". A lot of people in the comments here have assumed this is real ... and the fact that it is not should have been stated more clearly for some. Where is the vision system? How were there so many camera angles (including some mobile) ... yet no camera ever caught sight of another? This is a good example for brushing up on your critical thinking skills, so as to be less likely to become duped in future.
Awesome project, but the video is hardly watchable... too many camera moves and changes. That spoils the whole thing.
Sorry but I have to disagree with the negative comments. Of course we still don't have technology for that. What I liked is use a charismatic and sportsmanship like Timo Boll plus put table tennis as evidence. Of course the ad could be better, maybe we have to wait another 30 years to have a good machine that can compete with man.
Me da gusto volver a ver este video
La primera vez que lo vi recién me estaba adentrando al deporte Hoy después de 6 años lo vuelvo a ver ya sabiéndolo jugar a la perfección 😁
Hand-switch-shot at 2:18 :D nice!
"Somewhere on the planet." Come on man, which planet?! Narrow it down for me.
The people at KUKA have no integrity for doing this. We were all expecting a live match of man vs. machine and instead we get this overly edited bullshit with quick cuts, slow motion and close-ups (used to hide its fakeness) as well as what is supposed to be inspirational music and sound effects to supposedly make it more interesting (name one sport that does that during play) . The people at KUKA who made and marketed this campaign are scumbags.
Totally agree with you! :/ we waited so long just to watch a commercial..disappointing -_-
Common guys, I think it was all clear, that it's gonna be a commercial and nothing special. That it's not real is also clear, it wouldn't be that exiting for the audience with these special effects.
Yea I agree with you but this is the official ITTF channel, they broadcast matches..so,we expected a genuine table tennis match..plus if this were a real table tennis match, I'm sure table tennis would gain more popularity..and as for table tennis lovers like me, we would be more than happy to see something new and exciting..have a good day brother :)
+spiegel
I dont want the engineers of this company....i want the marketing!
I watched this in engineering class
Omg the editing.
Beide eine klasse für sich
I Have Laughted From The Lucky Scene and The Last Scene XDD!
Memories broken, the truth goes unspoken
Super geil produzierte Video. Großes Kino! Und natürlich genialer TT-Spieler :-)
Great technology ...
It was funny!!! Guys from Kuka made good their job. Nice commercial for the table tennis fans.
Excelente, eso es control diferencial dinamico jejeje
Timo is a two-handed robot)
lol timo boll: "inviting me to do this commercial, they drove a dump truck full of money to my front door. i am only human."
Wtf is this? O.O this is not a man vs machine match... This is just a crappy ad.
Music?
Guys, who told you it was a real match... It was an amazing advertising move by KUKA with a very nice result. I really enjoyed it, and so you probably did. For God's sake you geek, technical, narrow minded guys. You make feel embarassed that we share common interests.
[This comment has been removed because it was too cringy] -2020 me
Yeah, damn dood. Nice catch!!! It's so obvious and not even close. That ball was a good 6 inches to the right of his racket too hahaha
Just set the speed to 0.25 and watch from 1:56.
This looks like it suits the theme from Metal Gear, The Only Thing I Know For Real, well.
Programmed robots - yes they can play. But they can never demonstrate the sportsman spirit and emotions which make a game - The game.
すごい…。
しかも、最後のはいったい…?
もう一回見ようｗ
Now I feel stupid for thinking it was real
wish to have one kuka for practice
Камеру к руке надо было привязать
Timo boll should not make such an edited tt video considering his legendary name unless it is a real game like in a tournament. Legend has its own distinct, Boll ?
dissapointed it wasn't an actual match... pretty cool vid though...
This may be the best thing I've ever seen in my simple life!!!!
Bruce Lee playing tabletennis with nunchucks is more real..
Привет от Куплинова
Какое совпадение)
Muito bom,,sou um mesatenista amador,, e jogo campeonatos regionais
pour le robot, je ne sais pas, mais pour le cinéaste vous pouvez le virer. Il n'est pas payé pour nous "faire son cinéma" mais pour retranscrire une action. Un conseil à la direction : pour le prochain film, embauchez une machine.
Really cool!
We know its fake (it's obvious), but the important thing we are forgetting is that we are advancing in technology, step by step.
it Looks like the Robot Hand of Howard Wolowitz from Big Bang Theory
9plk
It would be nice to see just one complete point without any of that stupid jump cut editing. Why not also have available a video of the complete match for us real table tennis fans?
because it's not real
, x m
Do the short ball
Not fair. The robotic arm should be able to stretch higher, lower, longer, shorter. Now you bully it. It may annihilate humanity in the near future.
para mim o timoboll é o melhor do mundo ele é muinto bom
Terminator 5 .... Hasta la vista humanity.Unreal
More dramatic it is, less effective this is.
Epic Video ! :D
Sorprendente buen vídeo!!
Fake tennis, but nice commercial video.
Hi i know you are watching at 2030
why do i here mvm music?
Since the game started with the service of Timo Boll, so at 6-0, the Robot should have served instead of Timo Boll. :D
If only they shot this with more camera angles.
Are they going to make this an anime?
предоставьте оригинальное видео игры с этим немецким теннисистом. смонтированный ролик не интересно смотреть! хотелось бы правдоподобности матча!
provide original video games with this German tennis player. mounted video is not fun to watch! I would like to plausibility match!
Ещё одно объявление и чемпион...отдыхает 🙃
timo can act:)
Wer ist besser der Mensch oder die Machine?🍳🍳🍳🍳
The robot's serve though
they made tony stark's robotic thing with a camera that kept trying to put him out when testing his suit. (dont know its name if it has one) lol. perfect
Have a migraine after all the video cuts
my respect
Robot is made by humans. Human is made by the God. Robot has no chance, when the human trust in the God
Bitana bile Türk yok mu
no sweat, no shout.... duhh
False advertising at it's best. They show it as if the robot arm can stand up to a pro player. In reality the robot arm can't play ping pong at any level. It's mostly cgi with a bit of well rehersed movements of the robot arm.
STOP MOVING THE CAMERA
Which racket does the robot use?
I find it awesome :c
Muy malo el video, bastaba dejar la cámara fija para poder apreciar bien el juego.- El de la cámara quería demostrar lo hábil que es con ella?
arkadaşlar hiçbir robot bir insanı yenemez çünkü insan iç güdülerle çalışır robotlar ise kodlarla
Remember, this is a stationary robot.
to much editing not real yet
Foul, Kuka, ball not thrown up off palm of flat hand.
Foul, Kuka, double contact to ball with racket.
What about XU XIN Robot or MA LONG Robot?
Can we just see some real time footage!!!
too dizzy watching... to much editing..
*I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW*
0:10 what it is called.. anybody please tell
Demi-God & Sharigan mode 3:31 damn
People at KUKA are Scumbags? Because you expected something other than you got? Are you serious?
Maybe there is a misunderstanding caused by the fact that the clip was posted on this very channel, but: What else could it have been than an ad? A very intelligent one, by the way, because it illustrates very well how precise and fast a robot can be.
People who have the smallest inkling about robots KNOW that it's not possible for a machine to play and win against a world class player. But this is an issue of sensor technology, not of a robot's motor abilities. And the latter are to be shown here.
Whining and swearing without understanding what you see makes you what? (Insert suitable insult.)
tsp the ball barely over the net down the line. The robot will most likely not be able to reach that far but if it manages to, no matter where it returns the ball it leave the other side wide open for a smash
i'm so glad noone has thought of putting a gun on the robot haha right?
unrealistisch und einfach nur grottenschlecht gemachte Werbung...
Без монтажа показывать надо!
This is CG?
это всё подстава. что бы робот смог отслеживать шарик должны как минимум камеры по всюду стоять. а в таком мультике они и собаку заставят хорошо играть...
