  • Abstract
    The purpose of this paper is to design and construct an entertainment robot with sports skills. The robot basic action involves the robot movement and ball throwing. The desired tasks can be achieved through vision and motors coordination. Robot itself is equipped with DC and servo motors in order to drive the wheels and arm, the Wiimote for sensing the IR target, and Bluetooth modules to communicate with the central controller. The demonstration shows robot´s autonomous basketball throwing and target hitting capability with high precision.
