A new motion control method for golf swing robot hitting a ball

A new golf swing robot to simulate human motion has been developed. This paper deals with motion control of the robot for hitting a ball. For the case, it becomes important to control the motion of the robot after the impact, to avoid breaking a club. In this paper, a method for controlling the robot adaptable to various impact conditions is proposed. The motion state of the robot is estimated first by an extended Kalman filter, and a new reference trajectory is generated on-line according to the estimated state. The method has been implemented to the robot successfully
