Computer simulation of a robotic golfer

The analysis of a golf swing based on comparison with an “ideal” swing requires the definition of the “ideal” and a tool for comparison. Jack Nicklaus´ description of his own technique is used as a guide to define the “ideal” golf swing. A robotic model is developed to represent the motion of a professional golfer. Using a defined performance measurement, an initial estimation of the model´s swing is refined. Eventually, a computer program will graphically simulate the swing of the robotic golfer
