Alright, chaps, allow us to introduce your next smashing badminton opponent: the PHYBOT C1. This is a bot that’s clearly decided its designated role of ’light-duty assistance’ was, frankly, a bit of a crashing bore. This fully autonomous humanoid, quite frankly, is pulling off some absolutely brilliant perception and real-time reaction skills. It just goes to show, doesn’t it? Even the most earnest research bots need a proper hobby to unwind after a long day of, well, not actually having a proper job yet.
