OMRON Corporation (Head Office: Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto. President and CEO: Yoshihito Yamada), the global leader in technology designed to solve social issues, returns to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year with the largest, most advancedinteractiveexhibit of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and automation at the annual event. At CES 2019, OMRON isshowcasingthe harmony between humans and machines with its celebrated AI-equipped robotic table tennis tutor and debuting its Factory Harmony experience in which visitors workcollaborativelywith advanced machines in a vision of the manufacturing environment of the near-future.

"OMRONs founding principle is to improve lives and contribute to a better society. We believe that technology can serve that goal and thats what we are demonstrating here at CES," said Nigel Blakeway, managing executive officer of OMRON Corporation. "At our CES 2019 booth, attendees are interacting directly with OMRON AI, robotics and automation and experiencing the harmony that can be achieved between humans and machines when technology is designed tounleashandaugmenthuman potential.”

OMRONs AI-equipped table tennis tutor, FORPHEUS, is an interactive representation of the companysintegratedtechnologies with OMRON Sensing & Control + Think at the core of the demonstration. FORPHEUS illustrates how intelligent machines can learn from human interaction and help develop and support human potential. Rather than competing, FORPHEUS learns from and tutors each player, adjusting his abilities to promote longer rallies, coaching and encouraging the other participant throughout their match.

At CES 2019, OMRON is presenting the fifth-generation FORPHEUS, upgraded with advanced capabilities to learn from and coach the player, an expanded range of movement, faster ball return skills, enhanced people and ball-sensing prediction and deeper AI-powered personalized coaching.

FORPHEUS now features "elbow" and "wrist" movements to placetopspinandbackspinon the ball. OMRON developers sharpened his vision, which nowboastshigh-speed image processing by a stereo camera. Using his improved perception and data from a players performance, FORPHEUS now compares a players form and skill to that of a professional table tennis player, providing personalized coaching.

"Many CES attendees voice that FORPHEUS is a fun and fascinating example of the harmony between humans and machines. Everyone wants to watch and play him, but only a few are able to receive a tutoring lesson," said Blakeway. "FORPHEUS is an excellent ambassador for the harmonious relationship between humans and machines and a strong demonstration of the dynamic AI and robotics technologies that are evolving the modern workplace."

歐姆龍集團(tuán)(OMRON Corporation，總部：京都市下京區(qū)；首席執(zhí)行官：山田義仁)，作為全球旨在用技術(shù)解決社會問題的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，攜規(guī)模最大、最先進(jìn)的人工智能(AI)、機(jī)器人和自動化互動展品再次亮相今年的消費(fèi)電子展(Consumer Electronics Show)。2019年消費(fèi)電子展(CES 2019)上，歐姆龍通過介紹聞名的人工智能乒乓球機(jī)器人教練，演示了人類與機(jī)器和諧工作的場景，并首次展示工廠和諧體驗(yàn)，參觀者可體驗(yàn)與先進(jìn)機(jī)器和設(shè)備一起工作，展望未來制造業(yè)的工作環(huán)境。

歐姆龍集團(tuán)管理執(zhí)行官奈杰爾·布萊克韋說：“歐姆龍的創(chuàng)立宗旨是改善生活，努力建設(shè)更美好的社會。我們相信現(xiàn)有技術(shù)可以促進(jìn)這個(gè)目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn)，而這就是我們在CES上要展示的東西?！薄?019年國際消費(fèi)電子展上，參觀者可以直接與歐姆龍人工智能、機(jī)器人和自動化產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行互動，看到技術(shù)在挖掘和增強(qiáng)人類潛能方面的作用，體驗(yàn)人類和機(jī)器和諧共處?！?/p>

歐姆龍人工智能乒乓球教練FORPHEUS，可與參與者進(jìn)行互動，它展示了公司以Sensing & Control＋Think為核心的集成技術(shù)。FORPHEUS展示了智能機(jī)器如何從與人類的互動中進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)，它可以幫助開發(fā)和釋放人類潛能。FORPHEUS并不是與球員進(jìn)行比賽，而是在互動過程中不斷調(diào)整自身能力來完成更長回合的乒乓球比賽，為球員提供鼓勵(lì)和指導(dǎo)，并在互動過程中進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)。

2019年國際消費(fèi)電子展上，歐姆龍展示的第五代升級版本FORPHEUS，可以為球員提供指導(dǎo)，并從中進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)，同時(shí)，F(xiàn)ORPHEUS還擴(kuò)大了活動范圍，擁有更快的回球技能，對人、乒乓球的預(yù)判能力也更強(qiáng)，是一個(gè)更深層次的人工智能個(gè)性化教練。

新一版的FORPHEUS“肘部”和“手腕”運(yùn)動極具特色，這樣可以接住上旋球和下旋球。歐姆龍研發(fā)人員通過為FORPHEUS配備立體聲攝像機(jī)，讓其擁有了高速圖像處理能力，進(jìn)一步提高了它的視力?，F(xiàn)在FORPHEUS的感知能力更強(qiáng)，基于從球員行為中獲取的數(shù)據(jù)，它可以將球員的風(fēng)格、技術(shù)與職業(yè)乒乓球運(yùn)動員進(jìn)行比較，從而為球員提供個(gè)性化指導(dǎo)。

“許多參加CES的人都表示，F(xiàn)ORPHEUS是人類與機(jī)器和諧共處的一個(gè)極生動的例子。每個(gè)人都想看它打球，并跟它進(jìn)行互動，但會上只有少數(shù)人能得到指導(dǎo)?！辈既R克韋說，“FORPHEUS是展示人類和機(jī)器和諧共處的優(yōu)秀大使，也是現(xiàn)代工作場所中動態(tài)人工智能和機(jī)器人技術(shù)不斷發(fā)展的一個(gè)強(qiáng)有力的象征?！?/p>
