Currently, most table tennis robots concentrate on the canonical position control problem while ignoring the actual velocity control requirements. In this paper, we consider these requirements and propose a new table tennis robot framework. First, a tailor-made mechanical structure is designed such that the robot can reach large workspaces. Thereafter, in the table tennis trajectory prediction pro...
