Courtmate is an autonomous tennis ball retrieval robot meant to decrease downtime during tennis training sessions. It uses machine vision to identify tennis balls and calculates the optimal retrieval path to take to collect all of them and bring them to the ball thrower machine so that the person being trained doesn’t have to. Tensegrity Snake Robot Taryn Bailey, Bryan Cao, Rosemarie Murray, and Joshua Woods A biologically-inspired, tensegrity robot uses peristaltic motion to generate forward movement. By combining this unique method of locomotion with tensegrity design principles, this flexible, lightweight, and robust rrobot is well-suited to the exploration of unknown terrain, with applications in space-exploration, pipe monitoring, and search-and rescue.
