Man Vs. Machine: Robot EARL gets beaten
Chris Barnes takes on EARL - the Enhanced Automated Robotic Launcher - the new bowling robot at the International Training and Research Center in Arlington.
This robot bowler, cheekily named EARL, is capable of laying down the exact same, utterly perfect shot every time. Yet it still lost to professional human bowler Chris Barnes. How did this happen?

Ankita KatdareEARL's precision and that ability to throw the exact same way might have been his downfall.
Since every throw was so similar, over a few throws, the ball wore down the oil on the lanes, which caused some unforeseen behavior. EARL was unable to adjust quickly enough, and Barnes threw a whopping seven strikes in a row. That put him over the top!
P.S: EARL has been known to throw a perfect 300 in the past. -
aj_ondutySo that means the machine was beaten by a human because of a human error! ironic, but true.
The team who made EARL didn't notice that error and that caused all this problem for the robo guy! 😁 😁
