The inevitability of robotic 3-pointers
December 12, 2020 at 7:31 pm
I am more disappointed of not getting 8 out of 8 outcome.

https://www.businessinsider.com/basketba...e-3-2019-4


Quote:Toyota has created a 6-foot-10-inch basketball-shooting robot named Cue 3.

Cue 3 uses a set of sensors on its torso to measure its distance from the basket and adjust its shots. In a recent test, the robot made five of eight 3-point shots.

Toyota built Cue 3 to demonstrate the robot's use of "visual feedback" when shooting. 

Cue 3 can't run, dribble, or execute the other fundamentals necessary to play alongside humans.

Be patient. Cue 4 will be along soon.

And here I thought it was going to be about Asimov and positronic brains.

And I was wondering who would shoot a three-pointer. (Buck, that is.)

Cool, now they just need to work on boxing robots and I'm ready to pay admission to see the fights!

Some nerdy friends at a "Large Midwest University" are working on nursing robots. They should have started five years ago.
