Hi JinMeng,

I think they are useful if you don't have a training partner.  they can be useful for learning the basic strokes and footwork.  the main problem with them is that it is not realistic.  When you are playing a game you are also seeing the cues from the other player.  Their stroke their movement and other things that will help you to react and learn the game. You don't get that from training with a robot.
