Zuraik, Ahmad Hazim (2024) Development of a prototype automatic tennis ball launcher. [Student Project] (Unpublished)

Abstract

This project aimed at designing and constructing a device that enables tennis players to improve their skills through independent training. However, current training methods often require a partner to feed balls, limiting practice opportunities and convenience. This project addresses the problem by developing an automatic tennis ball launcher that can accurately and consistently launch balls, simulating realistic playing conditions. The launcher incorporates a motor, hopper for ball storage, and a precise launching mechanism, with adjustable settings for speed, trajectory, and direction. Safety features are integrated to prevent accidents during operation. The significance of this project lies in providing individuals with a convenient and accessible training tool that promotes skill development, encourages independent practice, and improves overall performance on the tennis court. Additionally, the project contributes to the advancement of sports technology and engineering, showcasing innovation and fostering interest in tennis. By incorporating sustainability considerations such as energy efficiency, material selection, and environmental impact assessment, the project aims to minimize its ecological footprint and promote responsible manufacturing and usage practices. Overall, the Automatic Tennis Ball Launcher project offers a promising solution for tennis players seeking a versatile training tool to enhance their abilities and achieve their full potential in the sport.
