This was an interesting project I worked on during my Master’s at Carnegie Mellon University (which apparently nobody knows about outside of Allegheny county and maybe the Bay Area…) This was a team project for Control Systems course that I worked on with Brian Wooshik Kim (the handsome fellow in the videos), Austin “Ow Suu 5000” Wang, Nicewell Su, and myself. What started off as drone ping pong quickly turned into “lets just make contact with the ball”. The folks in Raffaello D’Andrea’s lab really make it look so much easier than it actually is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CR5y8qZf0Y&ab_channel=SergeiLupashin).
