A group of 17 Toyota employees used their free time to build a humanoid robot called CUE that uses artificial intelligence to shoot baskets with extreme accuracy, according to Newsweek's James Hetherington. The robot recently made its debut in Japan's B League 1, suiting up for Alvark Tokyo.

At 6-foot-2, CUE is shorter than the average NBA player. It's also useless on defense, as it doesn't have the ability to move.
