Golfi is a golf robot that can find golf balls and hit them on its own.
The person is Alice Klein.
The first robot that can autonomously spot and travel to a golf ball is called Golfi.
Golf-playingrobots have been developed before, but they need humans to set them up in front of a ball and teach them how to play. There is a robot that hit a hole-in-one at a golf course.
A 3D camera that looks down on a green can help Golfi find golf balls and wheel itself into place.
The green is scanned by a camera and an algorithm is used to model 3000 golf swings towards the hole from random points, taking into account factors such as the speed and weight of the ball and the green's elasticity.
The neural network is trained to figure out how hard the robot should hit the ball.
Junker presented the robot at the International Conference on Robotic Computing in Naples, Italy.
Golfi can be placed anywhere on the green and the robot can try to hit the ball into the hole.
More than 60 per cent of the putts were successful on the indoor green. The robot needs a power connection and a 3D camera to work outdoors.
Golfi isn't about winning golf tournaments. It is meant to show how a combination of machine learning and physics can be used to simplify robotic applications.
