Toyota's CUE6 robot sets Guinness World Record for longest basketball shot

A humanoid robot named CUE6, developed by Toyota, has set a Guinness World Record for the longest basketball shot made by a robot. This achievement highlights advancements in AI and robotics since CUE's initial prototypes were built from LEGO in 2017. CUE6's latest record was achieved after it recalibrated and successfully made a shot on its second attempt. The robot's AI adapts to various factors, such as ball weight and trajectory, showcasing its learning capabilities. The CUE project aims to explore how robots can mimic human behavior and adapt to different environments. The technology developed could have applications beyond basketball, potentially impacting fields like industrial automation and healthcare.
