SMRTR summary

Chinese robotics company Galbot has trained a Unitree G1 humanoid robot to play tennis using software called LATENT, which learns from incomplete human motion data. The robot sustains rallies with human opponents, showing millisecond-level reactions and precise ball striking while moving naturally across the court. This breakthrough represents a significant leap from basic mechanical imitation to intelligent, decision-driven sports interaction, with potential applications extending to other complex physical tasks.
