Golfer Rory McIlroy Defeats Trash Talking Robot In Driving Range Challenge (Video)
Hopefully readers & visitors to PDF Supply are getting out and enjoying what remains of a great summer! Whether it’s time on the golf course, out on a boat, at a family picnic, or a trip out of town or across country, daylight is losing ground at about two minutes a day, evenings are becoming colder and kids are asking again for back to school clothes and gear, all signs that another summer is coming to a close.
Man Vs. Machine
At PDF Supply our philosophy is to help people and machines work together through automation for a better tomorrow. We look for synergies that help people, factories and industrial operations maximize outcomes and hum like never before.
That said, we do have our limits when humans come up against robots in competition, especially overconfident, trash talking robots!
The following video shows golfer Rory McIlroy vs. The Golf Laboratory Computer Controlled Hitting Machine named “Jeff”.
McIlroy’s pure human determination and hard earned skill puts the robot in his place in short order, proving yet again that machines still have a ways to go versus their human makers.
Included below is the Nike commercial featuring Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods in case you haven’t seen it!
