Check out the video of this awesome robotic air hockey playing arm. The robot arm was developed by a company called NuVation. It senses the puck via an overhead tracking systems and can react almost instantly based upon projects it makes as to where the puck will be after deflections and ricochets. The robot arm gets better as it learns more and more trajectories of the puck. So if you see the robot arm playing air hockey, don’t bet against it.
