Analysis of Rolling Manipulation for Breaking Ball Throwing with Robot Hand-Arm

Summary

The purpose of the work is to achieve high-speed dynamic manipulation. As one example, we deal with a breaking ball throwing. There are some previous researches about throwing with ball spin, but we will especially concentrate on making spin rate bigger. There are also some studies and measurements to analyze pitching technique scientifically, However little is known about body motions affecting ball spin. In this research, we modelize throwing motion as swing motion of a accelerating 1 DOF link and compare simulation results with human throwing.
