Delta Omnidirectional Wheeled Table Tennis Automatic Pickup Robot Based on Vision Servo

Abstract

The survey found that during table tennis training there are often many scattered balls that need to be picked up manually, affecting the efficiency of the players' training. Currently, table tennis is picked up manually using a table tennis picker. In this paper, delta omnidirectional wheeled table tennis automatic pickup robot based on the vision servo achieves fully automatic table tennis pickup by combining the characteristics and requirements of table tennis sports. In this paper, we design a vision algorithm for a table tennis automatic pickup robot system, give a kinematic inverse solution for the delta omnidirectional wheel, complete the design of the robot control system, and build the platform for the experiment. A pickup experiment is conducted on scattered ping-pong balls of different colors. Experiments have shown that the robot can safely clean up scattered table tennis balls on the table tennis field with high positioning accuracy and top pick up rate. It is proved that the robot designed in this paper has extensive application value and prospects.
