Badminton Training Robot : Badminton Buddy

Abstract: Badminton is hard to practice alone and contemporary practice machines are either expensive or too simple to be useful. This bachelor thesis revolves around the mechanical, electrical, and software design of a badminton practice machine with an automated feeding mechanism and a firing mechanism capable of shooting to different locations on the badminton court. The resulting product was an aesthetically pleasing robust machine with a 91% reliability and an accuracy of less than one meter.
