Introduction
Hi! In this blog, I will be demonstrating my progress for the last semester of my final year as a Robotics student at Middlesex University. This blog will solely focus on the project development of creating a robotic system that will allow a serial manipulator play air hockey against a human opponent. Currently, this project can be divided into 3 main tasks: Track the location of the puck within the working space during live demo Implement a trajectory prediction in 2-D Cartesian space to identify where the robot should position itself in relation to the position of the puck Create a graphical user interface (GUI) to allow human opponent to easily set up and play a game of air hockey against the robot. By next week, I will research exiting robotic systems to understand what the creator(s) of the system have done to solve such tasks and their reasoning for it. Note: This blog will not start at Week 1 but at Week 14 to coincide with the university calendar. Immanu
