Now, it is up to Timo to prove his qualities in a completely different kind of duel.<\/p>\n<p>The first duel between the human \u00a0table tennis star and a robot has created quite a stir. The marketing production \u201cThe Duel\u201d from the Augsburg robot manufacturer and systems integrator KUKA marked the opening of the new KUKA robot production site in China. It has been viewed over 6.3 million times on YouTube and has won numerous awards, including the \u201cRed dot: best of the best\u201d and the \u201ciF Design Award\u201d.

Once again, Velvet Media Design and director Matthias Zentner took on production. I will be pleased if the new KUKA marketing film, \u201cThe Revenge\u201d, achieves similar results for the company and its standing as my first duel with the robot did last year,\u201d explains Timo Boll.<br \/>\nThe German table tennis pro has been brand ambassador for KUKA in China since 2014. Boll, who is one of the most popular German athletes in the Asian region, represents the Augsburg brand in his second athletic home. As one of the best-known representatives of his sport in Asia, he stands for exactly those attributes which distinguish KUKA robots: speed, precision and flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>For further information visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/link\/redirector.php?url=http:\/\/www.kuka-robotics.com\" target=\"_blank\" data-slimstat-tracking=\"false\" data-slimstat-callback=\"true\" data-slimstat-type=\"1\">www.kuka-robotics.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extra Time in the battle between KUKA&#8217;s KR AGILUS Robot and German table tennis idol Timo Boll One year ago, Timo Boll challenged the KUKA&#8217;s robot in an extraordinary table tennis match\u00a0Robot [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18498,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-18494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-automation-robotics","tag-industrial-robots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
