First full 11-point humanoid robot ping-pong match powered by SMASH 2.0
量子位 · wechat · 2026-08-17
The HKU SuperDimension team demonstrated the world's first full 11-point autonomous ping-pong match between humanoid robots using their SMASH 2.0 system. The upgrade expands the hitting range (covering short and long balls) and adds autonomous serving, shifting from passive returns to competitive play. Team leads Luo Ping and Li Yinghui revealed reliance on extensive human motion capture data, with handling spin balls being the current challenge. The match requires full autonomy without remote control.
