This is just for entertaining, and the robots aren’t the most sophisticated. Actually they are toy robots. But in this video the cute robots dancing are just adorable. Even if though they’re wearing hawaiian shirts

This robot is able to both place the balls and shoot them in the right holes afterwards.

The same deveplopment team has also made some kind of augmented reality, where they use laser beams to show the possible paths of the pool balls you are about to hit. Watch the video to see a demonstration.

This pool-playing robot was developed at Vision lab in Queens University.
