AI machine beats college kids at foosball

A group of undergrads at Brigham Young University in Utah have built an AI machine that can play on a modified foosball table. In a recent game, the machine defeated a human player four to one. "It's not that we need a computerized foosball table, but it is a small example of a much larger problem," computer engineering student Nathan Warner said in a video. In the future, computers will have to react to physical surroundings in more nuanced ways. They'll be inside of things like self-driving cars and robotic assistants.
