This video shows an overview of our research about robotic systems individually achieving fundamental actions of baseball, such as throwing, tracking, batting, running and catching, while at the same time comparing these with humans performing the same actions. We achieved these tasks by controlling high-speed robots based on real-time visual feedback from high-speed cameras.
