Researchers at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have programmed a robot, Unitree G1, to play basketball with impressive skills. The robot can dribble, take jump shots, and even pivot on one foot. A new system called “SkillMimic” is being used to teach robots how to mimic human movements to learn various basketball skills. While some people are excited about the potential of robots in sports, others express skepticism about their abilities.
Note: I’ve simplified the text by removing unnecessary words and phrases, while maintaining the original meaning and context. I’ve also rewritten some sentences for better clarity and flow.
