Bowling with the DARwIn-Op Humanoid Robot

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 274))

Abstract

In this paper, we will describe our approach in building an application, which empowers the DARwIn-OP Humanoid robot to play a bowling game. The main difficulties of bowling, in both humans and robots, is steady walking control, vision processing to detect the pins and ball, precise localization of the ball and decision-making of angles to throw. The aim of this project is to contribute to better and more enjoyable robot and human interaction as well as to humanoid robot research area.
