AbstractThe objective of this capstone project is to design, develop and construct a robot with sport skills. The basic action of the robot is to shoot the balls to the specified position and with various spins. The tasks can be achieved by studying the kinematic of the shooting mechanism. With the kinematic data, the design can be implemented to construct the prototype of a robot. The robot is equipped with four DC motors; two motors for spinning wheels and the other two for position and spin control. The encoders are used to implement PID control in order to get accurate position of the motor. The Arduino program is used to code the instruction to the robot. The serial communication between Arduino board and computer is needed to input the list of instruction to control the robot. The experiment is conducted to gather the data and test to determine how accurate the shooting is. This experiment helps improving the efficiency of the robot and future work in related field.
