Robotenis: parallel robot with visual control

RoboTenis is an experimental innovation platform with high performance for visual control of a parallel robot with four degrees of freedom (DOF). The platform is an open parallel structure for the implementation of different strategies of visual control that allow the robot to play table tennis. The design of the platform consists of the construction of the parallel robot, the integration of the visual system and the developed algorithms for the visual control. This paper presents the platform RoboTenis and describes the design of the parallel robot inspired by the Delta robot. They analyse the workspace of the robot together with the studies of the trajectories of the ball and the dynamic simulations of the robot that use ADAMSreg allow to find the dimensions of the manipulator and information to select the motors
