Researchers have introduced "1000 Rallies," a novel dataset captured using event cameras for robotic table tennis, addressing the lack of large-scale data in this domain. This dataset, featuring over 1000 rallies from diverse players, includes synchronized high-speed frame-based camera data to generate precise pseudo ground-truth labels for ball state estimation. The team developed a convolutional neural network that leverages event data to jointly estimate the ball's position and velocity, significantly improving bounce-point prediction accuracy and enabling real-time human-robot table tennis rallies with a Stäubli robotic arm.
