Pool-playing robot

Michael Greenspan is no pool shark, but the Queen’s prof has built a robot he hopes one day might rival the best players in the world.

Greenspan, who describes himself as a “very average pool player,” got the idea to build a pool-playing machine while attending a robotics conference in Vancouver in 1998. After spending all day looking at cutting edge robotics technologies, he and some friends were out playing pool.

“My game wasn’t going great and it occurred to me that it would be a lot more likely for me to build a robotics system that could play a decent game of pool than it would be for me to master the game itself,” he says.
