The Design of an Automatic Golf Collection Robot

Abstract:

This paper depicts the system design of an automatic golf collection robot. The robot is an intelligent system that consisted of three modules: the hardware module includes the mechanical structure and the electrical system; the control module processes the signals from the multiple sensors and outputs the instructions to navigate the robot; the vision module is used for recognition the golf balls from the grass background. The robot has been tested on the driving range, the basic functions of the robot have been achieved. The golf collection robot supersedes the human labor and shows a good application prospect.
