"CUE7 locks onto the hoop, uses sensors to gauge distance, then makes small upper-body adjustments to its arm angle and posture before lifting the ball into a fixed shooting position and releasing it with carefully controlled force and angle."
"Basketball gives the company something that is easy to watch but difficult to pull off. To make the shot, the robot has to identify the target, judge distance, calculate trajectory, coordinate its movement, and control force with consistency."
"On X, Toyota Frontier Research Center said CUE7 was cut from 120 kilograms to 74 kilograms, a major drop that makes it a much lighter build than the previous model."
"The humanoid now uses an inverted two-wheel structure and a hybrid control system that combines reinforcement learning with model predictive control."
CUE7 is Toyota's latest basketball-shooting robot, designed for precision using AI, vision, and motion control. It performs a shooting routine by locking onto the hoop, gauging distance, and adjusting its arm angle before releasing the ball. The robot's lighter build and advanced control systems enhance its performance. CUE7 serves as a practical test for Toyota's robotics work, showcasing the challenges of identifying targets, judging distances, and controlling force consistently in a visually engaging manner.
