Robot Eyes Track Ping Pong Balls

Robot Eyes Track Ping Pong Balls – IEEE Spectrum.

Professor Masatoshi Ishikawa from the University of Tokyo writes in to point us to their latest video. It shows their 1,000-frames-per-second camera using a pan-tilt system to track a ping pong ball. The device is so fast it can always keep the ball in the center of the frame.

  1. Wow that’s awesome. Robot eyes are definitely impressive. Our previous project was a Six Axes robot but that was all arms. :(
