Robot vs Human: Who Wins the Badminton Rally?

ETH Zurich just unleashed a four-legged robot that can rally in badminton against humans—no joke. This isn’t just about fast footwork; the robot’s AI tracks the shuttlecock, predicts its flight, and coordinates whole-body movement for real-time returns. But here’s the catch: while it’s agile, it still struggles with fast smashes due to hardware limits. Is this the future of athletic robotics, or are we still leagues behind human reflexes? Would you face off against a robot on the court? #Robotics #AI #SportsTech #Tech
