AI basketball-playing robot, CUE3, had broken the Guinness World Records title for the most consecutive basketball free throws by a humanoid robot (assisted).

CUE3 is developed by Toyota volunteers and is an official member of the professional basketball team Alvark Tokyo. The robot has small motors in each axis and detects the goal position using the camera and radar attached to its chest. Using the readings taken off the camera, CUE3 moves the motors based on AI learning.

During the challenge, Toyota volunteers placed the ball on CUE3’s hands and executed the shooting action from the control desk. The tension was high as any error in this manual operation could lead to the robot missing the hoop.
