Check out what I call, Watson basketball. This robotic ball, the Sphero, was programmed specifically for me and is powered by using IBM Watson, which is a technology that understands all forms of data and reasons and learns at scale. With Watson, you can use language, vision, speech and data insight APIs to add cognitive functionality to your application or service. Watson is available on IBM Bluemix, an open source environment that helps you quickly and easily create, deploy, and manage applications on the cloud. In this case, it the Sphero was programmed to be a basketball player,and using Watson technology it can respond to analyzing a variety of basketball commands and responding through changes in movement and color.
