Engineers from National Chiao-Tung University of Taiwan have
built a robotic arm dressed in furry seal outfit for throwing a
ball into a basket. The percentage of successful ball-throwing
was found to be approximately 99%. “A stereo vision system is
used to measure the position of the target in 3D space.The ball-
throwing transformation between the input command of the robot
system and the target position is built by cubic polynomial.
Through ball-throwing transformation with visual feedback for
target position, the robot throws the ball toward the target
which can randomly move to everywhere in visible field.” You May
