Forget Apple's Siri voice recognition technology taking over the world. I have seen two robots playing ping-pong and now I am truly scared for humanity. Named "Wu" and "Kong," these two human-sized robots are the products of China's Zhejiang University. They play ping-pong not only against each other, but will take on humans as well. In the video, it's clear they're as adept at forehand shots as they are at the backhand.

This shows an excellent example on how we are advancing in technology. The author feels scared for humanity, though for reasons unknown. These two robots are called "Wu" and "Kong," meaning Monkey King. These robots are capable of forehand hits as well as backhands. They are not mobile and are only able to hit the ball with extreme precision.
