Table Tennis Robot 1.0
Table Tennis Robot 1.0 This is a personal project that I have wanted to make for a long time and finally had some time to do so this Summer. The idea is to build a small robot that can launch table tennis balls one by one with either topspin or backspin, at either the forehand or backhand. It uses skills related to mechanical/mechatronic design and control systems. I have not completed it yet, but here is a chronological progress update via photos/video ( edit from 2020 : I scrapped the original prototype and built a new robot) One of the early sketches An early CAD model in SolidWorks The assembled 3D-printed parts If you are interested in making your own, reach out to me (kev.supakkul@gmail.com) and I can give a detailed step-by-step process of how to make it. Here is a list of materials: Arduino Uno (or any other microcontroller) with USB cable 2x uxcell 4300 rpm 12V DC motor with encoder (I have only bought one so...
