Event-Time Hybrid Optimal Control for Robotic Table Tennis Serves
Thomas Gossard, Till Köpff, Andreas Ziegler
Robotic table tennis serves require high ball velocity and spin while respecting the robot's kinodynamic limits. Unlike rally strokes, a valid serve must also bounce on the server'…
Learning Racket-Ball Bounce Dynamics Across Diverse Rubbers for Robotic Table Tennis
Thomas Gossard
Accurate dynamic models for racket-ball bounces are essential for reliable control in robotic table tennis. Existing models typically assume simple linear models and are restricted…
An Event-Based Perception Pipeline for a Table Tennis Robot
Andreas Ziegler, Thomas Gossard, Arren Glover +1
Table tennis robots gained traction over the last years and have become a popular research challenge for control and perception algorithms. Fast and accurate ball detection is cruc…
Detection of Fast-Moving Objects with Neuromorphic Hardware
Andreas Ziegler, Karl Vetter, Thomas Gossard +3
Neuromorphic Computing (NC) and Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) in particular are often viewed as the next generation of Neural Networks (NNs). NC is a novel bio-inspired paradigm f…
