Willow Garage’s Pool Shark team has programmed the PR2 to play pool, in what they call a short hackathon sprint. Using a special bridge and grip, to allow it to power shots with wrist motions, its high resolution camera combined with a color blob tracker to find the balls, and the FastFiz open source pool-physics library, by Alon Altman, to check planned shots before executing them, the PR2 has become a pretty good pool player, the occasional scratch notwithstanding.
