Quotes:
Using heaps of data, Google trained a table-tennis-playing robot to
take on human competitors and get better as it did so. The results
were impressive and represent a leap forward in robotic speed and
dexterity. It also looks really fun.
"Achieving human-level speed and performance on real world tasks is a
north star for the robotics research community."
