Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the procedure of making of an Autonomous Air Hockey Robot that comprises of slider mechanism and a vision system using Kinect. Its basis is to play the game of Air Hockey against a human through controlling the slides by sensing its closed environment with the machine vision system. The purpose of this project is to make a system which provides the basic understanding of artificial intelligence in a robotic system. The functions of this system comprises of puck detection using color detection, trajectory prediction by finding slope of puck trajectory through line equation of two points, delay calculation by using the predicted position and slider’s motors control via Arduino board. The robot uses Kinect camera to sense the environment about its surrounding and process those information to Arduino board. The robot uses Arduino mega 2560 to implement the two-axis motor control algorithm. This system makes the robot to display the humanlike responses.
