I played a bit when I was a teenager—I even had my own table tennis table for a couple of years. I think my mom got tired of it blocking the hallway since we lived in a small apartment, though! I also used to play casually with my grandmother whenever we visited a park—it was something we both really enjoyed.

I think that it is possible that robots might actually play table tennis with us. Currently we may not have the right kind of technology to develop such kind of robots. However, it is not far-fetched to think that we may do that in the future. We need to develop robots who possess human-like reflexes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see robots with human-like reflexes playing table tennis with us in the near future! Google DeepMind has already created a robotic system that can play at an amateur level by combining simulations with real-life practice. What’s really interesting is that the focus wasn’t just on winning but making it adaptable and fun for human players. 

Here’s an article about it if you’re curious: [URL='https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/robotic-table-tennis-champion/']Robotic Table Tennis Champion[/URL]
