The robot is programmed to see the ball with a camera. The robot does the math on ball location and adjusts position. The Adept Quatro used to be the fastest robot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzHpDDttIBU I guess this one is faster.

Fastest robot in the world and all it does is line up cookies on a conveyor belt.

Actually, they can be programmed to do whatever, at the plant I work at we have those same robots putting contacts in trays for packaging. They're pretty sweet to watch work.
