Robots That Know Where They Are on the Basketball Court
Teaching Basketball Robots to Know Where They Are
At Robocon 2025, split-second positioning can be the difference between a swish and a miss. Naren Medarametla and Sreejon Mondal present a real-time localization framework that helps autonomous basketball robots figure out their spot on the court—using only what they see on the floor.
- Hybrid brain: Combines classical robotics techniques with learning-based methods.
- Floor-only vision: No GPS or beacons—just visual cues from the court surface.
- On-court impact: Sharper shooting, safer collision avoidance, and smarter navigation.
When robots know where they are, every pass, drive, and shot gets smarter.
