A Japanese company has unveiled a new version of a table tennis robot at a tech show in Tokyo.

The robot that is called ‘Forpheus’, was first created in 2013 and has now been updated in order to return balls with greater accuracy using artificial intelligence.

According to the company, the robot can assess its opponent's playing level, whether they're a beginner, intermediate or advanced.

If the player is a beginner, ‘Forpheus’ returns the ball softly and if the player is more advanced, the robot returns the ball faster and in random directions.
