Abstract |
As social distancing was lifted after the COVID-19 pandemic, participation in sports for the people increased. Among them, the number of people enjoying tennis increased the most. Tennis is a sport that allows individual lessons or individual practice if not played, and balls must be collected after practice and lessons. The People find it very inconvenient and bothersome to collect the ball after practice. In this paper, a robot that automatically collects tennis balls was developed to solve the inconvenience of collecting tennis balls. It was developed so that the robot could collect the ball through autonomous driving by detecting and recognizing the tennis ball using an image processing algorithm. The developed robot can increase the convenience of people who enjoy tennis. |
