Omron’s eighth-generation table tennis coaching robot will demonstrate its outstanding performance at the CIIE

(November 2, 2023, Global TMT News) Omron will participate in the sixth CIIE with the theme of "Inspiring Future Innovation through Automation". Omron demonstrated a model for the future human-machine relationship - the table tennis coaching robot FORPHEUS. After ten years of continuous iteration, FORPHEUS has been upgraded to the eighth generation. At this CIIE, Omron also specially invited a table tennis world champion to interact with FORPHEUS and brought the new eighth-generation FORPHEUS to the booth

The newly upgraded eighth generation FORPHEUS table tennis coaching robot has been improved and upgraded

The eighth-generation FORPHEUS helps robots and people establish deeper relationships by increasing the interactive function of human-machine "dialogue". First of all, on the basis of quickly creating a portrait of the experiencer's athletic ability, the eighth-generation FORPHEUS can more deeply understand the needs of players. By capturing table tennis data such as speed, route and player movements through visual sensing technology, FORPHEUS forms a preliminary understanding of its athletic ability; combined with facial recognition technology, it can determine its emotional and physical status and formulate a preliminary sparring plan. The eighth-generation FORPHEUS equipped with a dialogue function will inform players of their judgment of skills and preset plans, and confirm players’ thoughts and needs. Secondly, based on dialogue with players, the eighth-generation FORPHEUS can propose solutions that are more suitable for players, such as return speed, hitting route, etc., and then start sparring after reaching a consensus with players. In subsequent battles, FORPHEUS promptly followed up on the experiencers’ movement feedback, reconfirmed or flexibly adjusted the plan, and achieved real-time optimized human-machine collaboration through continuous human-machine communication
