Our Project
Our goal in this project was to make an automated 2-dimensional gantry system which can catch a thrown ball based on camera recognition and prediction, with a focus on speed and accuracy
Project features
Real-Time Camera Tracking
Use of Integrated Web-Cam for Ball-Tracking for path prediction.
Arduino Microcontroller
Robust firmware for precise and fast stepper motor command
Stepper Motor Control
Precise movement and string control for accurate hand-motion.
String Tension Based Movement
String-based gantry for cheap and ingenious x-y movement.
