A robotics project using Arduino and MATLAB that performs image recognition and fires ping pong balls at targets.
Read about the project in the PingPongCompetitionSummary document View the MATLAB and Arduino Code in the Code Folder Some preliminary results are shown in the PingPongCompetitionResults document
Essentially, this code was used to process an image to produce a list of target coordinates, which were then passed to a robot that used a solenoid to launch the balls at the targets. The robot was programmed using arduino and used simple physics and numerical methods to determine the necessary power to hit the target.
