Here is a foosball robot capable of challenging humans with average skills. Developed by EPFL students, the robot has linear and rotational motors to move the players and kick the ball. A camera is below the table to track the ball and players. A computer processes the data and detects ball position to control the robot accordingly.
All brawn, little brains: EPFL students’ table-football robot
The goal is to make the robot even smarter in the future. There are also plans to develop a system to let foosball robots compete against each other.
