Abstract

In order to design a ping-pong robot arm system of low cost and high performance, this paper firstly designed the arm’s mechanical structure according to the requirement of the robot arm, and then analysised the kinamatics and dynamatics of the system. In addition, dynamic simulation as well as control scheme are described in detail. Results of analysis and experiment illustrate that the design can meet the functional requirement. The ping-pong robot arm can realize high-speed ball hitting, ball balancing techniques at a very low cost.
