Hitting Back-Spin Balls by Robotic Table Tennis System Based on Physical Models of Ball Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we develop a robotic table tennis system in the case of the back spin with the same measurement method and the ball models of the aerodynamics and the rebounds as in the study of Nakashima et al. (2011). First, the aerodynamics model is improved for precise prediction of the ball trajectory with data of the flying back-spin ball. Second, a method to determine the racket motion is shown where approximated inverse problems of the models are solved with optimizations. Third, a motion planning of the robot to achieve the racket motion is proposed with the velocity limitation of the robot joints. Experimental results are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Effect of Changing Table Tennis Ball Material from Celluloid to Plastic on the Post-Collision Ball Trajectory
The official material used in table tennis balls was changed from celluloid to plastic, a material free of celluloid, in 2014. The purpose of this study was to understand the differences and similarities in the two types of ball materials by comparing their behavior upon collision with a table. The behavior of the balls before and after collision with a table, at various initial speeds ranging ...
متن کاملSimulating Human Table Tennis with a Biomimetic Robot Setup
Playing table tennis is a difficult motor task which requires fast movements, accurate control and adaptation to task parameters. Although human beings see and move slower than most robot systems they outperform all table tennis robots significantly. In this paper we study human table tennis and present a robot system that mimics human striking behavior. Therefore we model the human movements i...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the racket mass and the rate of strokes on the kinematics and kinetics of the trunk and the racket arm in the table tennis topspin backhand. Eight male Division I collegiate table tennis players hit topspin backhands against topspin balls projected at 75 balls · min(-1) and 35 balls · min(-1) using three rackets varying in mass of 153.5...
متن کاملTracking Table Tennis Balls in Real Match Scenes for Umpiring Applications
Judging the legitimacy of table tennis services presents many challenges where technology can be judiciously applied to enhance decision-making. This paper presents a purpose-built system to automatically detect and track the ball during table-tennis services to enable precise judgment over their legitimacy in real-time. The system comprises a suite of algorithms which adaptively exploit spatia...
متن کاملTraining Level Does Not Affect Auditory Perception of The Magnitude of Ball Spin in Table Tennis
Identifying the trajectory and spin of the ball with speed and accuracy is critical for good performance in table tennis. The aim of this study was to analyze the ability of table tennis players presenting different levels of training/experience to identify the magnitude of the ball spin from the sound produced when the racket hit the ball. Four types of "forehand" contact sounds were collected...
