Air hockey robot of 3D printer parts

Air hockey is one of the most popular games, it is played by both young and old, and almost everyone gets a washer on the nose sooner or later pleasure. In general, it would be nice to have a similar game at home, right? But there is a problem - there is not always a partner for the game, but you can’t play it yourself.

Although it is already possible, the fan of this game Jose Julio assembled a robot for playing air hockey from improvised means. And the robot is quite a worthy opponent, which does not need to give in.

The entire system is assembled from, in fact, the table of the corresponding structure, parts of a 3D printer and camera for the PS3. In addition, Arduino Mega is also used. Thanks to the good hardware and software (both open and open), the robot can predict the most complex trajectories of the “puck” movement, and beat these pucks without any problems.

The difficulty level of the robot game is customizable, so you can enjoy yourself by limiting the ability of the machine. Although - this is already a game of giveaway, and not a normal air hockey match.
