Professor masatoshi Ishikawa from the university of Tokyo has developed two baseball playing Robots. One Robot is made to pitch the ball and the other one to hit the ball. The bot which pitches the ball has three fingers and it throws a plastic foam ball at about twenty five miles per hour and lands 90% of its pitches in the strike zone. The batting bot has sensor it determines wheather the pitches are balls or strikes and hits the ball with 100% accuracy. The research people are working on increasing the pitcher to about ninty-three miles per hour from twenty-five miles per hour. The bot doesn’t look like human beings instead it looks like an terminator.
