What's interesting about this project is its use of spiking neural networks (SNN) that respond rapidly to dynamic environments. See the illustration. "We developed a system that uses SNNs to control a robotic manipulator in an air-hockey game. In this setup, the automated opponent uses SNNs to process data from an event-based camera, enabling it to track the puck's movements and respond to the actions of a human player." Obviously something like this would be an excellent trainer for human air hockey players.
