Golf Robot Learns to Putt Like a Pro

Golfi, developed at Paderborn University in Germany, uses a 3D camera to take a snapshot of the green, which it then feeds into a physics-based model to simulate thousands of random shots from different positions. These are used to train a neural network that can then predict exactly how hard and in what direction to hit a ball to get it in the hole, from anywhere on the green. Learn more:
