Well, this isn't good. A robot at the Italian Institute of Technology led by Dr. Petar Kormushev has taught itself how to use a bow and arrow. It only took him eight shots to start hitting the bullseye every time. And I don't know about you, but I'm not sure that seven shots is enough time for me to run away.

Not bad.

Now let’s see it learn to play table tennis.

Just make all humanoid robots out of plastic so they are easily breakable, problem solved. And limit their strength to that of a normal human’s.
