Abstract :
Deep Green is a vision-based, intelligent robotic system that currently shoots pool at a better-than-amateur level, with the ultimate goal of challenging a proficient human opponent at a championship level. The system´s robotic aspects rely primarily on computer vision. The system is centered on a 3-degree-of-freedom gantry robot mounted to the ceiling to avoid impeding human access to the table.
