The new age inventions are bringing us up on a whole new level. Now who could have thought that one day there would be a machine that would play pool probably better than them. Or even if people thought, we all know that it is extremely hard to create such a machine.
The geeks over at Queens University created a master-piece. This fancy machine is fully capable of playing a match of pool. Equipped with a bunch of sensors, cameras, robot arms, etc. it gives a highly accurate shot corresponding to the data it already has.
The title might sound a little harsh. Sorry to have hurt your experience if you’re a professional pool player but even at this initial stage the pool-playing-machine is a slight above the amateur level. However, tossing the machine into complex table states might be enough for it to give you an ‘i-quit’ sign.
We might even expect to see such a thing at bars soon for drunk folks to fancy their games with an aided machine hand. I think there is still some developments being done on it. But what a creative mind these guys have got. Must appreciate that. You can check out the whole thing in action for yourself below:
