Abstract

A fuzzy controller was designed for a table tennis robot to strike a ball with topspin or backspin. First, the topspin or backspin was classified by comparing the difference between the binocular-vision-based measurement of a ball trajectory and the predicted trajectory using an ideal flying model. The striking signal, including the contact position and hitting time, of our table tennis robot can be estimated by inputting the trajectory features into a corresponding model. The face angle of a racket at the hitting moment was derived by a fuzzy inference system and was then used to control the robot. The average error of the contact position predicted by the proposed method was about 3 cm, and the average error of hitting timing was less than 13.5 ms. Experimental results verified the effectiveness of the proposed controller for striking spin balls.
