Our work on T2Snaker robot was featured in ITMedia and Yahoo! News!

T2Snaker is a snake-shaped robotic appendage made for virtual reality (VR) based table tennis practice. The robot can be either worn or set on a platform. Users can practice table tennis within VR, while holding the table tennis racket that is fixed on the robot. Then, the robot guides the user’s movement within the VR environment to ensure suitable holding posture of the racket, trajectory when hitting the ball and effective play.
