Description
Summary:This report details the development of a Robotic Billiard System (RBS) which main feature is using the ABB robotic arm to execute shots and integrate it with a vision system to create a full automated robotic system. The main purpose of this report is to illustrate the development of a RBS that can execute both Straight and English shots (curve shots) to pocket a ball. This report will provide information on the analysis of existing RBS and the theoretical analysis of the physics behind billiards games. Experiment methods as well as analysis of data will also be provided in this report to further demonstrate the development of this RBS in achieving the targeted aims of the project. This report will conclude on the outcome of the development and whether the objectives aimed for has been realised. Lastly, this report will also discuss the possibility of future development and ideas of improvement for further adaptation which will be useful to the university for academic or research purposes.
