A few years ago Linus did a video of a badminton playing robot. What you might see is some of the same technology at some point. The way that they handled the machine vision for the calculating the trajectory of the shuttle so that the robot would go and intercept it and hit it back. Was pretty low cost pretty elegant. It was just two cameras. I think there were only like 18 inches apart or something like that like not much farther than your eyes. And they were able to calculate in 3d space depth and everything exactly how far away it was so that they could get the robot over there in time. Very cool.
