Robotic Table Tennis Player: Selecting Motors for High Response

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around selecting appropriate motors for a robotic table tennis player project, focusing on the need for high response and medium torque motors suitable for fast reactions to ball movements.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests using brushless DC servo motors for their high response capabilities.
  • Another participant emphasizes the importance of motors with high torque and fast response times to enable quick reactions and precision in returning shots.
  • There is a mention of the need for variable speed control to accommodate different types of shots in table tennis.
  • A participant advises researching manufacturers' specifications, including peak torque and torque vs. speed curves, to make an informed decision.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying opinions on the best type of motor, with some advocating for brushless DC servo motors while others highlight the need for high torque and variable speed capabilities. No consensus has been reached on a specific motor type.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks detailed specifications and empirical data on motor performance, which may affect the decision-making process.

Hi i want to work on robotic table tennis player. So i am confuse that which kind of motors should i use. I need high response motors.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Just off the top of my head, and without much knowledge of your application, it sounds like you want to use a brushless DC servo motor.
 
Ok. I try to explain you.
1. We need to choose final year project For which i have to submit my report on it
2. The project we decided is robotic table tennis player
3. There will be camera and it will detect the motion of ball
4. According to this motion we need to move our rackets

So my question is What kind of motors do we need for Fast response and medium torque?

Regards

I maintain my answer from my previous post. Look up some brushless dc servo motors. Manufacturers websites typically have all the information you need, including peak torque and a torque vs. speed curve.
 


I would suggest considering motors that have high torque and fast response times. This will allow the robotic table tennis player to quickly react to the movements of the ball and return shots with precision. Additionally, motors with high precision and accuracy will also be important in order to accurately control the movements of the robotic player. It may also be beneficial to consider motors with variable speed control, as this can provide the flexibility needed for different types of shots in table tennis. Ultimately, it is important to carefully research and test different motor options to find the best fit for your specific project and goals.
