Learning athletic humanoid tennis skills from imperfect human motion data

SourceIt is interesting to watch. The movements of the robot are robot-like. I mean, wtf, there were no robot playing tennis before, but I have an idea how a robot playing tennis would be like, and this video confirms my expectations. Sharp, unsure movements, a lot of hesitation, ...
Movies pictured robots like this long before this become possible, but how did producers guessed it?
Or maybe movies rendered different kinds of robots, but this video bring into my memory only those, that look like this. A kind of confirmation bias?

Nothing constructive to say, besides that the video really shows we're entering into a Sci-fi era.

This just makes me want to play tennis right now. Such an addictive sports.

Why can some Temu humanoid robot do this sort of impressive, coordinated, high-speed thing, but Tesla Optimus completely sucks at everything unless theyโre moving at 0.02m/s (and even then theyโre not great)? Like, train this thing on the latent space of folding my clothes out of the dryer and I will send you my money.
Relax, it is one demo. It probably can't handle the millions of edge cases that exist in real life.
