This project focuses on developing an automated robot capable of shooting golf balls with high precision and repeatability. The key challenge addressed is achieving consistent shot distances, adjustable to different requirements, in a cost-effective and reliable manner. The goal of the system is to enhance golf training by providing a dependable and repeatable ball-shooting mechanism, which can also be utilized for equipment testing. The robot is designed with two mechanically linked arms, each driven by its own motor. The arms are calibrated using Hall-effect sensors and controlled by a PID controller, ensuring they return to a consistent starting position before every shot. This setup guarantees repeatable and precise movements with each use. To minimize costs and simplify the manufacturing process, the robot utilizes commonly available materials. Results show that the prototype successfully meets the project’s objectives by achieving consistent performance with a small margin of error of five percent. This demonstrates the potential for affordable automated solutions in golf training and equipment testing. Looking ahead, future improvements will focus on further refining the accuracy of the system, ensuring it meets even more demanding requirements. Additionally, the development of additional capabilities will expand the robot’s applications, potentially addressing a wider range of needs within golf training and equipment evaluation. This project lays the groundwork for future innovation in robotic systems tailored for sports training.
