In any event, the researchers had no intention of creating a robot capable of competing with PGA Tour professionals. They hope that the strategies they developed for Golfi may be used to other robotics applications. “You can also extend it to other issues where you have some information about the system and could model sections of it to gain some data,” Niklas Fittkau, another Paderborn University doctorate student and co-lead author of a study on Golfi, told IEEE Research.
