Im new to all this robotic stuff and to be honest im a bit lost in it all.
So for uni I have to do a project where a machine has to electronically differentiate between a tennis ball and an orange golf ball and then this machine has to harvest all the tennis balls.
The balls are being placed in a straight line at various intervals and this machine is to be mounted to the back of a tractor.
I'm fine with creating a mechanism for lifting the ball but the problem I have is that I have no idea how to differentiate between the two balls and what sensors to use ect.
Another requirement is that the golf balls must not be disturbed from there original position.
Any ideas or help is much appreciated, Thanks.
