“…Trainers can adjust serving parameters in response to training requirements, and the serving device, in turn, modifies its hardware structure based on these parameters, enabling fully automated serving [7,8]. Prior literature introduces a Badminton Shuttlecock Feeding Machine that employs trajectory simulation to derive initial parameters, saving them within the Feeding Machine for the automatic launch of four distinct types of initial balls [9]. Prior literature [10] proposes a design of a high-speed, lightweight humanoid badminton robot.…”

Addressing the current issue of limited control methods for badminton serving devices, this paper proposes a vision-based multimodal control system and method for badminton serving. The system integrates computer vision recognition technology with traditional control methods for badminton serving devices. By installing vision capture devices on the serving device, the system identifies various human body postures. Based on the content of posture information, corresponding control signals are sent to adjust parameters such as launch angle and speed, enabling multiple modes of serving. Firstly, the hardware design for the badminton serving device is presented, including the design of the actuator module through 3D modeling. Simultaneously, an embedded development board circuit is designed to meet the requirements of multimodal control. Secondly, in the aspect of visual perception for human body recognition, an improved BlazePose candidate region posture recognition algorithm is proposed based on existing posture recognition algorithms. Furthermore, mappings between posture information and hand information are established to facilitate parameter conversion for the serving device under different postures. Finally, extensive experiments validate the feasibility and stability of the developed system and method.

“…Most of these machines have similar features and only produce some basic variations with manual operation. There are also other similar sports that use ball throwing machines for training purposes such as badminton [18], tennis [19], football [20], volleyball [21], and baseball [22]. When considering these machines with respect to propelling a ball, there are main 4 mechanisms that can be used for ejecting a ball such as pneumatic powered [23], rotary wheel [18]- [22], spring actuate [24], and pitching arm [24].…”

Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world. For the batters to practice, there could be a requirement for an effective and efficient device to mimic different bowling variations to enhance the training sessions. This research consists of computer aided design, simulation, and fabrication of a robust cricket bowling machine to achieve target bowling for effective training of cricket batters. A novel ball propelling mechanism was designed with two degrees of freedom movements of a pair of rotating wheels. Mechanisms for sudden speed changes were also tested with prototypes during this design. However, for acceptable product compactness and cost, the design was prototyped without the sudden speed changing concept. The base is maintained on a bi-axial precise tilting gyroscopic mechanism. This tilting mechanism accurately adjusts the delivery point of the ball with respect to a two-axis system, which helps to control the line and length of the ball. The novel ball propelling mechanism enhances the stability of controlling in pitching position, ball rotation axis, and ball speed. Controlling these parameters effectively creates an environment for efficient practice sessions for batsmen. Target bowling is the main objective of this study and the machine intends to mimic the vast bowling variations.

In this paper a wireless shuttlecock launcher system is designed and fabricated to help badminton athlete and coach improve their training session. The shuttlecock launcher system have three main parts which are the automated shuttlecock launcher, switching from short shot and long shot type of training can be made effortlessly. The feeder is designed to store a minimum of 10 shuttlecocks at a time, and it can feed individual shuttlecock into the launcher in sequence. The wireless controller system consists of an Arduino Uno and an ESP32 module that controls the shuttlecock launcher wirelessly. The Uno's main task is to control the servo motors, while the ESP32 module is used to communicate wirelessly with the Blynk smartphone app. The Blynk app will generate a trigger signal for the shuttlecock launcher. Both microcontrollers the Arduino Uno and the ESP32 module is programmed using Arduino IDE. The hardware actuators combined with the software instructions help realize the shuttlecock launcher with wireless control system. Note that the trajectory of the shuttlecock launcher needs to be calibrated first in order to guarantee a high level of reliability and performance of the shuttlecock launcher.
