I played my way through college playing 9-ball in the bars. The group brought in a "toy" pool table, not a real slate one. Therefore I do not think they have the necessary "pool" knowledge to create the algorithms for the robot to beat a real player. slow felt, weak rails, english effects on the cue ball, the english transferred to the object ball. Variations of top english verses bottom english, speed and position, the list goes on.
I started working with computers when IBM still had the 1407. That was before the 360 series. Yes that is 40 years ago.
There is more to it than a camera to see with and a robot to stoke the cue. Will the robot know when to chalk the stick.
