Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9009216A1] A table tennis robot sends a ball towards a player, so as to simulate a realistic situation in a game, where the device comprises a firing unit, a receiving unit and a collection unit. A damping plate (1) is located on the table-tennis table, on the opposite side of the table from the player. The damping plate (1) slows and controls balls from the player. A trigger mechanism ensures that the player receives a return ball when the player hits a ball correctly. The device may embody more than one firing unit with associated trigger mechanisms, so that return balls come from the same area that the player has hit the ball to.
