The Intelevator

The Intelevator is a recurring skit on Ylvis' TV show Tonight with Ylvis, in which Vegard and Bård mess with people on an elevator. The "intelligent elevator" does many things -and speaks an almost unlimited number of languages- but it doesn't always function correctly. Sometimes it doesn't understand your words, other times it seems to not care. And one poor, apparently British woman had to convert metric units to imperial units to get anywhere.   

Four television segments have been edited together into a 13-minute video that will seem much shorter once you start laughing. Embedding is disabled, but you can watch the whole thing at YouTube. -via Metafilter

The robot uses cameras to view the ball. At the 30 sec mark you can see that the robot has a visual tracking system, as it is tracking the ball before it is dropped on the paddle. If you view the additional video that is on the channel for the user, you will see the breakdown of how the robot tracks the ball. It would be cool if it was doing this on estimation though, but it, sadly, is not.
