To Germany constructed the robot golfer — it touches thousands options for a choice of the best blow

Engineers of Paderborn university (Germany) constructed robots who is able to play golf. The car received the name Golfi — for performance of the task it estimates a situation at helps 3D - chambers, and decisions are made by Neural networks, modeling a set of options and choosing the best. Having obtained data from a chamber of Microsoft COR Kinect, the system builds simulation with several thousand blows from various positions, considering resistance of a gazonny covering, mass of a ball and its initial speed. Car training on simulations takes about five minutes, and for data input about real blows are required from 30 to 40...
