I made a ball seeking hoop

Summary by Krater

The creator builds an automated robotic basketball hoop that uses motion tracking and inverse kinematics to move in six dimensions and intercept any thrown ball, testing its tracking accuracy and mechanical performance in his workshop.

Answers: How do you build a robotic basketball hoop that tracks and catches any shot?

• robotics
• basketball hoop automation
• motion tracking
• inverse kinematics
• cable-actuated robots

What it concludes

• Cable-actuated robots can provide the multi-axis mobility required to move a basketball backboard dynamically in a room.
• Using a high-performance diesel generator power distribution box is necessary to supply sufficient power to multiple overpowered motors.
• Inverse kinematics equations accurately calculate the precise cable lengths required to position the backboard at any target coordinate in three-dimensional space.
