The new Air Hockey Robot EVO. Perfect to learn about Robotics, visual recognition, behavioural robotics (and have fun!)

Check it in action! (youtube video)

Based on our first Air Hockey Robot, this new Air Hockey Robot EVO is much easier to set-up and deploy.

Now, controlled by your own smartphone using the freely available APP (the APP will let you control the robot manually too) A challenging robot, perfect to have fun and learn robotics at the same time

This EVO version is faster, easily modifiable and shares the electronics and ancillary elements with others jjRobots like the:

Getting tired of one robot? Create another just printing the 3D parts!

We have based this new design on the standard parts of a typical 3D printer, such as the NEMA 17 stepper motors, the DEVIA control Board, belts, bearings and rods. We have opted to use a medium-sized air hockey table with dimensions of 80 x 42 cm (31.5 x 16.5 in) and a two-motor X-Y movement design (H-bot), with both motors working at the same time, moving the robot up/down and left/right. Simple but ...cool

How does it work?

Your smartphone will become an augmented reality device, showing predicted trajectories and position of all the objects involved in this game.

The smartphone´s camera (2) looks at the playing court . The captured data is processed in real time by the smartphone. After detecting the position of the puck and the “Pusher robot” (and according to the current location of all the elements on the court), your smartphone makes decisions and commands the Robot (3) via WIFI (1).

The Robot is locally controlled by the jjRobots Brain Shield (1) which dictates the speed and acceleration of the robot, sending the appropriate pulses to the stepper motors.
