A giant robot that plays basketballs has set a world record by shooting 2,020 consecutive baskets. The six foot 10-inch/ 2.1 metre android called Cue 3 is unable to move, let alone dribble or dunk. It was crated by researchers at Japanese car maker Toyota.They fitted it with a variety of sensors to calculate the correct angle and force of a shot.Motors accurately replicate the same motion every time.Toyota opted to complete 2,020 baskets in tribute to the upcoming 2020 Olympic Games to be held in Tokyo.The opening five throws were a success. This was enough to set a new record, but not a single person relaxed. The team's attempt on the record had only just begun.The feat was monitored by Guinness World Records and the who created the robot was given a certificate at the end of the achievement.Toyota's robot makes a three-dimensional image of where the basket is using sensors on its torso.It then adjusts motors inside its arm and knees to give the shot the right angle and propulsion for a swish.
