It&rsquo;s one thing to dominate in digital games, but translating that intelligence into the physical world&mdash;where you have to account for millisecond latency and complex ball spin&mdash;is a completely different beast.</p> <p data-path-to-node="3">Achieving a perception latency of around 10ms to track a high-speed ball shows just how far edge processing and robotic hardware have come. While beating human players is a fun demonstration, the broader implications for industrial automation&mdash;like high-speed sorting and safe human-robot collaboration&mdash;are what make this truly exciting.
