Are you looking for a table tennis partner? Well this next level robotic human assistant may bring out the best in your game by practicing with you tirelessly for hours. Visitors of Japan's 2016 Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies, or CEATEC, got a chance to work on their own serves with Omron's latest ping-pong robot. Omron's robot is able to predict the ball's path and return it consistently, but the ping pong robot is actually being designed and modified for factory work instead of becoming the next ping-pong legend. The company is preparing their robot to assist humans at factory assembly lines, to help pick and place different parts together for assembly. CEATEC is Japan's largest IT and electronics trade show, and many manufacturers and innovators show off their latest products at the tech show.

If you've managed to get your bachelor's degree, congratulations! And if you're thinking about grad school, get your piggy bank out and start saving. According to Business Insider, getting a master's degree or Ph.D. in your chosen field can be a smart career move, but it can also be a financial time bomb. If you want to go to grad school five years from now, start saving. First, research schools, tuition, and determine your monthly and annual living expenses. Research any benefits your company may offer for free or subsidized tuition, and look into state programs and scholarships. Still paying on student loans from your undergrad degree? Refinance them now, when rates are low. Finally, if you have five years to save, consider using a 529 plan. If you want to start sooner, a high-yield savings account may be better.
