Detection and tracking of high motion objects in arm robotics

Herein a method for object tracking and interception for applications in arm robotics is presented. Generality of five and six degree of freedom robots has traditionally been lost due to focus on pre-programmed dead-reckoning centric algorithms. The method presented herein utilizes high speed software engineering techniques in conjunction with image processing algorithms to produce a viable and extensible object tracking platform.
