A team of engineers at Toyota have spent years iterating on Q, the basketball shoot robot. Q uses machine learning to adjust his posture and arm movement in order to take the perfect shot nearly everytime. The robot holds the Guinness World Record for most consecutive basketball free throw by a humanoid robot after it made 2020 free throws in a row. It also holds the record for the longest ever basketball shot scored by a bot after it made a basket from 80 feet, six inches.
