Man vs Robot: Timo Boll plays table tennis against KUKA's fastest robot

The video most of us have been waiting for is here: World table tennis champion Timo Boll faces off against his strongest challenger – KUKA, a robot.

FYI, Boll has been voted German sportsman of the year several times, and KUKA or the name the nerds gave it KR 6 R900 SIXX is just another robot which is used picking and building package boxes, and not to take part in competitive sports. But hey, who can stop a determined kid?

This collaboration celebrates the inherent speed, precision, and flexibility of KUKA’s industrial robots in tandem with Boll’s electrifying and tactical prowess in competition.

Who do you think won?
