Ping Pong Robot

Over the past couple weeks i have been working on a ping pong robot with vision control using cmucam5. I got some great results so i figured i would share it with the community. Right now i am able to auto aim and hit two target with a ping pong ball in under 5 seconds from about 5 feet away. If you would like to see the video i posted it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pQD2WqQjCM. We are planing on making another one and playing a game with in the near future.

Hi Bradley,
Whoa, that’s pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!

If you can post a longer video, we’ll share it on our social media. :slight_smile:

i can do that. How long would you like the video and anything specific you would like in it?

Hi Bradley,
The video is great as-is, but if there was some describing of the robot, how it works, it would help the viewer understand what’s happening. I showed my 10-year-old and he didn’t realize it was fully autonomous and had some questions about the ping-pong shooter, how it worked, questions I wasn’t sure about myself :slight_smile: When I told him it was autonomous, it suddenly got even cooler!

Glad you kid was excited about it. It is a lot of fun to play with and super simple. I will go ahead making a video telling all about it.
