Spring 2014 Senior Design

College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

The objective of this project is to create an autonomous robotic arm that has the capabilities of playing air hockey against a human opponent.
Using computer vision algorithms, a camera will detect the puck. Centroid coordinates and trajectory coordinates are sent through Bluetooth
communication protocols. The robotic arm receives the coordinates and moves to the position that corresponds to the trajectory coordinates.
Additional features include a screen for replays and displaying scores, puck return system, and LED strips for lighting effects.
