BallBot is the world's finest autonomous ballboy
ECE capstone project by Rashmi Anil, Ishaan Gupta, and Ryan Stentz
The tennis equipment market has almost no electronic devices assisting in picking up tennis balls. Tennis players spend more time picking up tennis balls after practice than actually hitting. BallBot is an autonomous ball-boy that quickly collects tennis balls so the player can rest instead. You can relax and enjoy your serving practice while Ballbot does the hard work.
BallBot uses real-time computer vision to collect 30 tennis balls at 10 balls/minute. It weighs only 15 pounds, has a battery life of over 2 hours, and is robust against hits from tennis balls. This makes Ballbot ideal for tennis players everywhere.
