The experience of Ball Catching aims to demonstrate the possibility to catch a flying object with a robotic arm.
The Ball Catching demonstrator allowed to highlight the critical parameters involved in a recovery operation to fly (perception, prediction, decision, action) using components of the trade (Universal Robot arm, Microsoft Kinect sensor).
Ball Catching is a collaboration with the enhancement of the University of Nantes capacity cell. This work has been the subject of a communication to the session posting days of the research group (GDR-robotics) 2014.
