Robocon 2015

Robocon 2015 was unusual as it was one of the few themes where the participant directly competed with an opponent. “Robominton” was a game of doubles badminton played by the robots of two opposing teams. The robots were allowed to be autonomous or manual.

We tested out various methods and algorithms using Kinect, which detected the shuttle when it crossed over the net and predicted its path to ground. The robots then maneuvered to the estimated location to intercept the shuttle. Unfortunately, due to reliability issues, we ended up controlling both robots manually in the competition.
