An Automatic Golf Ball Recycling Robot Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper depicts the design of an automatic golf recycling robot. The purpose of this paper is to present the key technologies and results on the automatic golf recycling robot. The designed robot is an intelligent system that is consisted of three key modules: the hardware module includes the mechanical structure which can adapt to the golf course; the control module processes the signals from the multiple sensors and instructions to navigate the robot; the decision module can plan the path via recognition of the golf balls from the background grass. Besides, to avoid an emergency situation occurrence, the robot is equipped with a remote wireless control system. The designed robot has been tested on the driving range, and the basic functions of the robot have been implemented. The golf recycling robot supersedes the human labor significantly and shows a wide potential applications.
