Badminton Gets Its First Robotic Player


The University of Electronic Science and Tech in China have invented 'Robomintoner' - a robot that can give you a run for your money as opponent in a game of badminton.

HD Camera, bluetooth, binocular vision system – Robomintoner combines all the technology into moving around the court to spot the shuttle and then use badminton racquets in either of its actuating arms to strike.

"Currently there is no perfect system in the world for a robot to locate itself indoors. The technology used in the Robomintoner is actually very advanced. No matter how it moves on the court, as long as it’s got battery, it will know its exact location. It won’t lose its direction; it won’t lose itself.” Luo Deyuan, Mechatronics Professor of the University of Electronic Science and Tech, told China Central Television.

The Robomintoner is expected to hit the market in a month but the estimated price is not yet known
