Basketball Robot: Ball-on-Plate System without Visual Information
نویسنده
چکیده
Building a basketball robot is a recently launched project at the Institute of Automatic Control Engineering (LSR) for investigating fast manipulation with non-negligible dynamics and changing contact situation. This video presents some preliminary results of the project which is balancing a basketball on a plate. An aluminium plate of which the size is 25 × 40 cm is mounted on the end-effector of a six degree of freedom (DoF) serial industrial robot Stäubli RX90. In order to update the current state of a basketball on the plate the robot is equipped with a 6 DoF forcetorque sensor between the plate and the end-effector. The mass of the basketball is 0.6 kg.

Physics-based ball tracking and 3D trajectory reconstruction with applications to shooting location estimation in basketball video
The demand for computer-assisted game study in sports is growing dramatically. This paper presents a practical video analysis system to facilitate semantic content understanding. A physics-based algorithm is designed for ball tracking and 3D trajectory reconstruction in basketball videos and shooting location statistics can be obtained. The 2D-to-3D inference is intrinsically a challenging prob...
متن کاملBall Dribbling with an Underactuated Continuous-Time Control Phase: Theory & Experiments
Ball dribbling is a central element of basketball. One main challenge for realizing basketball robots is to stabilize periodic motion of the ball. The task is nontrivial due to the discrete-continuous nature of the corresponding dynamics. This paper proposes to add an elastic element to the manipulator so the ball can be controlled in a continuous-time phase instead of an intermittent contact. ...
متن کاملBall Trajectory Estimation and Robot Control to Reach the Ball Using Single Camera
In robotics research, catching a projectile object with a robotic system is one of the challenging problems. The outcome of these researches can be used in a wide range of applications such as video surveillance systems, analysis of sports videos, monitoring programs for human activities, and human-machine interactions. In this paper, we propose a new vision-based algorithm to estimate the traj...
متن کاملBiomechanical Analysis of the Jump Shot in Basketball
Basketball players usually score points during the game using the jump shot. For this reason, the jump shot is considered to be the most important element of technique in basketball and requires a high level of performance. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics of the lower limbs during a jump shot without the ball and a countermovement jump without an arm swing...
متن کاملAiming at a far target under different viewing conditions: visual control in basketball jump shooting.
Most research on visual search in aiming at far targets assumes preprogrammed motor control implying that relevant visual information is detected prior to the final shooting or throwing movements. Eye movement data indirectly support this claim for stationary tasks. Using the basketball jump shot as experimental task we investigated whether in dynamic tasks in which the target can be seen until...
