Humanoid Robots Play Full-Autonomous Tennis, Marking 'AstraTennis' Moment for Embodied AI
量子位 · wechat · 2026-08-23
On August 22, at the World Humanoid Robot Games, Galaxy General robots demonstrated full-autonomous tennis playing capabilities, marking the "AstraTennis moment" for embodied AI. In a global live broadcast, the robots showcased complete skills including forehands, backhands, serving, net play, and doubles collaboration, adjusting strategies in real-time and making extreme saves.
Technical Core: Cerebellum-Brain Coordination
- Brain (AstraBrain): Handles perception, decision-making, and game theory, judging ball trajectory and formulating tactics.
- Cerebellum: Responsible for whole-body dynamic balance and precise motion control, ensuring human-like fluid movements.
Data Platform Galaxy Star Data: Converts imperfect human data into high-quality training data and enables robots to undergo millions of self-play rounds and skill emergence in virtual worlds before migrating to the physical world. This breakthrough verifies that physical AI can match human intelligence in high-speed, open, real-time adversarial scenarios.
