sonyai.bsky.social @sonyai.bsky.social · 24/04/2026What happens when a ball hits the net? In table tennis, net contact creates unpredictable trajectories. For Ace, Sony AI's physical AI research system, these rare events were one of the hardest real-world conditions to address. 162
sonyai.bsky.social @sonyai.bsky.social · 24/04/2026How does Ace—Sony AI's robotic AI research system—plan a serve? Published in @nature.com, Ace is the first robot to beat a professional athlete in a physical sport. Before a serve, Ace predicts how spin will affect the ball's flight and bounce to guide real-time execution. 110
