Basketball-playing robot beats human stars in free throw shoot-out
The humanoid is reportedly powered by AI.

A basketball-throwing robot has been created by a group of Toyota engineers in their spare time.
The robot, named Cue, is able to sink a free throw each time it attempts the shot.
And Cue beat human competition when it lined up against pro-players from the B-league in Japan, reported The Verge.
It played against ballers Zack Baranski and Seiya Ando from Alvark Tokyo, a team sponsored by Toyota.
The exact tech powering the bot is unclear, though some reports suggest AI was used to teach the robot how to shoot.
