BYU-created A.I.-powered foosball table goes head to head with humans
A group of computer engineering students at BYU spent this past semester creating a robotic, computer-controlled foosball table with the goal of beating a human foosball player. Turns out their project was a success. The software they created tracks the ball from a camera placed above the table, and the computer then controls the rods where the plastic players are attached. It anticipates, kicks and even scores. The artificial intelligence is a little too good.
