Towards Human-Like Table Tennis Serving: Preliminary Exploration with Simplified Serving Motion Using an Industrial Robotic Manipulator in NVIDIA Isaac Sim

Abstract

In this report, we present our latest work-inprogress result of table tennis serving simulation. The ultimate goal for our research is realization of human-like table tennis serving with a 6-joint robotic arm. The preliminary evaluation indicates the potential of multi-joint bionic serve motion planning with extended topics and future directions discussed.
