Very impressive. But it doesn’t solve the whole problem yet.

The robot and ball pose is estimated by high speed mocap cameras, and is fed to the policy.

I imagine estimating that with onboard cameras - how humans do it - is much harder.

Almost all of closed loop robotics is a state estimation problem. Control is “solved” if you can estimate state well enough.

We know. Just appreciate it for what it is. Which is…awesome.
Look at the guys above posting that within 18 months these sorts of robots will be able to cook in anyone’s home; the above reminder is very necessary.
I agree it is pretty awesome!
