Design and development of a shuttlecock launcher machine

This project aimed at designing and fabricate a device for badminton players, which when used independently, helps polish the skills of players. Current training methods mostly depend on the partner’s skill and technique who keeps the shuttlecock flying that reduces the opportunities and the convenience of practice. This project deals with this problem by design and develop a shuttlecock launcher machine driven by DC motor technology. It combines a motor, a shuttlecock hopper, with a built-in mechanism for pitching them at various speeds, trajectories and directions. These features are being installed not only for safe operations but also for the prevention of accidents. The value of this endeavor lies in its aim to furnish these people with an instrument that is easy to use as well as practical, which can be used to develop skills, support autonomy, and boost performance while playing badminton. Moreover, the project is part of the advancement of sports technology and engineering, displaying its evolvement and challenging passion towards badminton. The sustainability factors such as energy efficiency, material selection and environmental impact assessment considered by the project will help in minimizing its environmental footprint and urge towards sustainable manufacturing and usage practices
