Description
Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 電機工程學系碩士班 === 106 === This thesis propose an air hockey robot with using vision feedback. We use Arduino Mega 2560 board and OpenCV in the design. The OpenCV is used to achieve image recognition and the Arduino Mega 2560 is used to robot hardware control. The air hockey robot is also applied to some tools like webcam, stepper motors for giving robot vision system and interactive ability with people. The image recognition system use webcam to catch continuous image and let RGB pictures to be HSV pictures. Further, we could control the threshold to separate the background and use the tracking rule, which we needed to catch the puck and calculated the puck’s speed and position. On the other hand, we used three stepper motors to make the XY Table for hardware. Through the image recognition system, we could calculate the hit position, speed and pump times. Last but not least, we transfer the distance information to stepper motors controller to make the robot arrive the position. In summary, the experimental results that the proposed air hockey robot can do the simple hit to return the puck and make the interactive entertainment for players.
