Table tennis champ Timo Boll faces off against a KUKA robot in Shanghai on March 11. Are humans still in the lead? Are we still winning for now?

From the German company’s site: “KUKA is active in the market for robots and automated production systems, primarily for the automotive industry, but increasingly also for other segments of industry, such as metalworking, medical technology and food production. The principal driver for growth in these markets is the increasing demand for automation solutions due to the generally rising pressure on costs which meanwhile also affects small and medium-sized enterprises.”
