- Arduino project with 120 FPS OpenCV image processing and smooth stepper motor moves. The machine calculates the ball's 3D position from the image processing data and uses this information to control the orange ping pong ball.
A big thanks to the people at e-con Systems for supplying me with a superb See3CAM_CU135 camera which I used in this project. Find out more about the camera here:
www.e-consystems.com/4k-usb-c...
This machine requires the following things to work:
- 1x Teensy 4.0 Microcontroller
- 4x StepperOnline DM442S stepper motor drivers
- 4x Nema 17 Stepper Motors with 5:1 planetary gearbox
- 1x 48V 8A power supply
- 1x e-con Systems See3CAM_CU135 camera
- 1x Windows Computer with OpenCV installed on it
- All the parts defined the Fusion360 project
- Custom Windows Application (made with Unity)

Can hear it already:
This is YOUR Daily Dose of Internet.
yessss
I literally found this vedio after watching DDI
DDOI: Somebody made a robot that can bounce a ball without it falling, it keeps the ball balanced by using a software that predictions the balls movements, and adjusts to keep the ball in the centre of the glass. Me: Nice
nice
Oh yes
I like how his computer is just in the background dying
Lol
Is it the noise?
Its the fan tho
Lil Homo oh wow, I wonder where he would most likely have a fan going during this? It’s not like computers have fans that they turn on when they’re dying
I don't know man; sounds like it's living.
Machine: Clearly bouncing a ping-pong ball
Auto-Captions: Applause, take it or leave it.
Must be quite a big range of frequencies in actual applause, given how often auto-caption thinks a sound in videos is applause.
Pilot Plays I think it's the noise in the background too.
Don’t forget [music]
It's actually captioning us, the viewer.
Lmao
Say what you want, but that robot just looks like he’s having a good time
I was thinking the same thing
He’s just vibing ngl
He's she. Can't you see she's just playing with balls?
@Tom Matthews Your making a joke right?
Don't stop it now
This was in my recommendations and I’m definitely not disappointed.
Don't know why it exists. Or why I'm interested. But it was good.
Definitely falls under "oddly satisfying"
Divit Rutia I was going to say that exact same thing

What does hmpf stand for?
The guy who said that the bots are going to take over the world probably meant taking over all manual labour in the world so we dont have to do it
@@Yazan_Majdalawi Its just a sound. An onomatopoeia?
@@adhikachin27 ok... I guess I can't imagine what does that "sound" sound like... It seems impossible to pronounce for me 🤷♂️
Yazan Majdalawi it sounds like “Humpf”, but with less “uh” sound. Imagine the sound you make when you hit the ground falling from 6 feet up.
The only thing I can think about during this is how smooth and responsive those motors are
@@alifkaputra not really, you don't need an expensive or super advanced stepper motor to do something like this, it's more about being able to read the situation and send the adjustments to the motors in time. I bet youd be able to do this with like $10 stepper motors
Either really good "normal" motors or really cheap stepper ones
@Kill Team Charliedefinitely it's not stepper motor.
It should be Servo motor with a good encoder.
Stepper motor mostly don't have close loop feedback.
Even alfa stepper motor (that has some short close loop feedback) is not good enough for sudden stop.
Kill Team Charlie they are stepper motors
cecep lukman hakim but servos are just a dc motor with a gearbox and an encoder. Stepped motors can move in precise increments.

@@robotmeister009 I AM THE CODE

Plot twist: The Ball was the AI all along
My favorite part was when the ball bounced.
what about when it rolled?
Me:
TH-cam: the octobouncer
Me: but it has only 4 arms
TH-cam: THE OCTOBOUNCER...
Red Monster
did you count the legs?
why did you count the legs?
it didn't said octo bouncer.
Here I thought we were going to see the guy who defenestrated Octomom.
gonna get four of those gripper balls, install on arms, and start mayhem
"All members of Octopodiformes have eight arms"
It's quadrobouncer, not octobouncer.
Advanced tricks to try:
-Catch a falling ball without it bouncing
-Bounce from corner to corner, with 1 or 2 bounces
-Bounce / roll 2 or more balls at the same time
-Roll the ball along the edge of the platform
-Roll the ball back and forth between opposite corners as fast as possible
Catching the ball without it bouncing would be very impressive, but a back-of-the-envelope calculation tells me the the plexiglass would have to be able to move at 2~3m/s.
I think if it was capable of such speeds it wouldn't have to work so hard to launch the ball. Considering that the first time the ball lifts off the separation looks less than 1cm I'd say it's top speed is less than 0.4m/s.
Still, it should be able to alternate between shallow (
tricky, but thanks for the input!
@@ElectronDust I'd like to see it bounce the ball to a rhythm, like a drum machine, if possible. ☺
Some inspiration: th-cam.com/video/dPRxIFYhFIA/w-d-xo.html
..In fact, replace the plexiglass with a transparent tambourine and you'll have a guaranteed hit.
@@nagualdesign I like it. Thanks for the idea!
And built two of them and let them shoot and catch the balls.
So that they could juggle 🤹
This is incredible. The calculations going on here and the motor accuracy are truly astounding!

I’m not sure why this was on my recommendations but I thoroughly enjoyed this video
Yep, yt knows better than us what we wanna see
Means it’s well recommended lol

.
It’s amazing how a human can also do that after a few minutes of practice.
You're right! Each day I fear humans will turn on machines and take over the world
It's even more amazing how a human can easily tire out of doing it.
It’s amazing how many humans can’t actually do this
yea nah. this thing coulf bounce this forever since it can perfectly calculate everything
@@diegoaespitia not without supply energy
This is very impressive. The amount of accuracy required to make this possible is something I would have never thought a machince would be capable of replicating. I dont think many people watching this understand how small and precise each movement of the mechanical arms would have to be in order to keep this ping pong ball fairly centered.
Cave Johnson here. Now, some of our investors have expressed concerns about where their money is going and rest assured, it's going to good places! Now, here's a demonstration of what we have been doing so far. We can go places with this, people!

hell yeah!!!! best comment on here. made my day.
Early prototype for those bounce-pad things
I fully expect this thing to make angry and disappointed movements with the bouncy-plate, when you take away the ball.
There's something about the smoothness of it, that makes it seem so life-like
Rickotap yes!! I was looking for a comment like this and I completely agree!
Yeah like how it almost seems like the robot is fiddling around with the ball.
Seriously I wonder how long this took.
Thank you so much for using "bouncy plate". Also imagine if your buddy got a home of that technology and put it in your bed or floors...
Lol. The humble beginnings of Skynet...
I would put this on my balcony at hot summer day when all windows are open and let it run for a day just to drive my neighbors crazy..
So much work to add wind simulations. Lol
I like how fluid and organic the movement is

Reminds me of a kid at school, a man now never seen him in year's,, in junior school he wrote a story about life as a ping pong ball,, I still remember Greg's story,, absolutely brilliant and ironically he shares a last name of the writer of frankenstien,, great memories I'm mid forties now ❤️👍all from a brilliant machine 👍❤️
this is so cool, i would never have imagined this would work with only one camera underneath. Awesome
Imagine making a fitness function to describe how “cool” certain movements look (perhaps based on high velocities, airtime, sudden changes of momentum, fine control), hooking it up to a machine learning algorithm, making a system to give it a new ball every time one falls off, and just letting it go to town.
Benny Blue that would actually be very cool
eeehh waitt!! can't imagine all that at once!!
Its movements resemble those of the living panels from portal 2. Will we be seeing an entire floor made of these? :)
Loved the game and i agree on the reference
Companion cube plz.....
I was going to say the same thing
Only if valve keep making games and stop doing nothing but steam...
We do what we must, because, we can.
The precision is just mind boggling.
What impresses me the most is the little moves or adjustments it makes when it rolling on the glass.

Even trampolines will have a mind of their own.
You will just have to stand there and it will bounce you for you

the robot uprising will be grim. you just vibing on the trampoline before it decides to end your knees
Get two people on that trampoline and play catapults, did it with my brother.
You time your landing at the same time but on your turn you stomp hard and then make your legs relax to absorb trampoline launching you so you stay on it instead.
Launched my little brother one time super high and his butt first landed on the metal frame and it bent the side of the frane into the soil, his ass also got fractured poor bugger :P

What really gets me thinking about stuff like this is just how gd hard it is to program!

At some point you would mess it up. Out of boredom, arrogance, sabotage... Whatever humanly thing would that be, you'd screw it up.
