Ping Pong Playing Robot Promises to Teach People Skills

Forpheus is a giant robot, a robot that is really good at ping-pong and surprisingly its goal isn’t to win the game. It is programmed to keep the game going improving the skill of its human opponent. One rally at a time with the help of artificial intelligence or AI. It is here to show everybody here that AI and robotics can be used to improve human skills. In this case the skill for Forpheus teaching is ping pong. And the robot isn’t perfect. Forpheus does miss because he’s also learning. Forpheus is a learning AI algorithm where it’s always trying to optimize¹ for increased number of rallies not decrease, so it’s not about winning and the more rallies it can do with the player the better because that’s the only way that a player is going to get more practice and more skills.

Forpheus是一个机器巨人，也一个非常擅长乒乓球的机器人，令人惊讶的是它的目标却不是赢得比赛。它的程序是让游戏继续进行，以提高其人类对手的技能。在人工智能的帮助下，一次一回合。在这里向大家展示的人工智能和机器人，是可以用来以提高人类技能的。在这种情况下，Forpheus所授的技巧是乒乓球。这个机器人并不完美。Forpheus确实有失误，因为他也在学习。Forpheus是一个会学习的人工智能算法，它总是试图优化每一回合的比赛，尽力让回合越多越好，他并不是为以赢为目的，和选手的一来一回，越多越好，因为这是让选手得到更多训练的唯一的办法。

Omron, the Japanese electronics company that created Forpheus is constantly improving its robot. This year Forpheus is able to strike back with its own spins thanks to new elbows and wrist joints². It starts to spin more and more and it starts to spin it back and it was phenomenal, i was shocked. How can this type of robot be used in the workplace. So in this example we have mobile robots that are running around simulating bringing more products and more supplies to our human worker making sure that they are kept up and productive.

创造了Forpheus的日本电子公司Omron正在不断改进自己的机器人。今年，由于新的肘关节和腕关节的出现，Forpheus可以用自己的旋转进行反击。它的旋转开始越来越多，又开始倒转回来，非常惊人，我超级惊讶。这种机器人如何在工作场使用呢。所以在这个例子中，我们有可移动机器人，它们在四处运行，模拟给我们的人类工人带来更多的产品和用品，以确保他们保持生产效率。

This robot is able to understand which magnets someone is choosing and then give it to them. In Forpheus we’re using a high speed picking place for ping pong but in this case we see a high-speed picking place to supply magnets to our attendees. But Omron stresses the goal is to create robots that help human’s work not take their jobs. We’re very excited to bring the harmony between human and machines. Omron is not saying what for Forpheus next step will be. Dena Mitchell for VOA News, Las Vegas

这个机器人能知道人们在选了哪块吸铁石，然后把它分给他们。在Forpheus 中，我们使用了一个高速拾放器来打乒乓，但在这个例子中，我们看到了一个高速高速拾放器来为我们的参与者提供磁铁。但Omron强调，其目标是创造出帮助人类工作的机器人，而不是取代人类的工作。我们非常兴奋能为人和机器的和谐相处带来贡献。Omron并没有说Forpheus下一步会做什么。美国之音新闻，迪娜·米切尔，拉斯维加斯报道
