A robot called Golfi is the first to be able to autonomously spot and travel to a golf ball anywhere on a green and sink a putt.
Golf-playing robots have been developed before, but they have needed humans to set them up in front of a ball and program them to make the correct swing. The most famous is LDRIC, a robot that hit aat Paderborn University in Germany and her colleagues, can find golf balls and wheel itself into place thanks to input from a 3D camera that looks down on a green from above.
After this, Golfi and a ball can be placed anywhere on the green and the robot will navigate to the ball and try to hit it into the hole. Golfi was able to sink more than 60 per cent of putts on a flat, 2-square-metre, indoor green. The robot isn’t suited to outdoor greens because it requires a power connection and the 3D camera to be mounted above the green.
However, the idea of Golfi isn’t to win golf tournaments. It is meant to show how robotic applications can be simplified by combining physics-based models with machine learning, says team member
