Professor Masatoshi Ishikawa from the University of Tokyo has created a robot that pitches and a robot that swings.

The pitching robot has a 3 fingered hand and can hit the strike zone 90% of the time.

The batting robot doesn’t swing at anything outside of the strike zone and hits with almost 100% accuracy thanks to a 1000 frame per second camera.
