About CUE7
CUE7 is Toyota’s latest basketball-playing robot and continues a research programme focused on machine perception, motion planning and precise whole-body control. Cameras estimate the basket and ball position, while the robot calculates shot trajectory and coordinates its articulated body to reproduce a repeatable throwing motion.
Earlier CUE generations demonstrated autonomous shooting and set Guinness World Records for consecutive free throws and long-range shots. CUE7 extends the platform as a technology demonstrator for learning, balance and high-accuracy physical action. It remains a research and exhibition robot and is not a commercial basketball or service system.
