Abstract

This paper describes a preliminary development to an automatic tennis ball collecting machine. The framework adopts a roller to collect tennis balls when moving. Tennis balls are detected and tracked automatically by computer vision while hardware acceleration is used to improve efficiency. For navigation, fuzzy control and 6 ultrasonic sensors are used to avoid obstacles when approaching the targets. A web-based monitoring and teleoperation system is added for human-robot interaction.
