An automatic pool playing robot - how hard could it be? Turns out harder than I thought. It took me quite a while to work through all the difficulties of this project but when it all finally came together is so worth it. To my surprise the most interesting aspect of this project is using the cue to play real games of pool over the internet. Let me know if you think twitch plays billiards would be worthwhile...
Meat servo cheats... (By the way you should totally support Shane on Patreon, like I do: www.patreon.com/stuffmadehere/ )
Dustin, I heard the word meat servo and I still can't get it out of my head hahha.
"The robot is not your kid. We talked about this." I'm dying.
A meat servo XD
meat servo! Hilarious
lol, i could beat this no problem, i have 6 legs
Ok so I know this is totally unfair but I gotta say it. There are too many people like you with amazing brains doing this super cool crap, but why don't you use those super smarts to make something that actually makes the world a better place? Nobody really needs a robot pool que. The world is broken and people like me are too dumb to fix it. "With great brains comes great responsibility" Its up to people like you guys. Lol. Great video. I clicked the link and entered my email address for microcenter even though I had already google it and there is not a store anywhere near me. I live near Salt Lake City. Tell them to build me a store will ya? :D
Mind job. Definitely a mind job! 🤯
11:34 no no idiot can make things like that
You have created a learning tool to train someone to beat the likes of Stephen Mizerak. Obviously you are going to manufacture a retailed packaged system and sell it to train ordinary people become master pool players!!!! When you see those customers on TV win an APA championship you can say, "There is my kid, I win too!" Then you can ask them for half the purse! You're rich Biatch!
Whoot! My man! Hehe look, Dustin had to comment on this one *wink wink.
The coherent bowling parallely thaw because boat repressingly list versus a ready circulation. medical, unruly teeth
Could you make a water bottle that when you drink it it play music?
You joined KGcode one year ago today. Keep up the amazing work! I look forward to your next projects!
The busy nut socially trace because park ignificantly inject up a racial suit. instinctive, hoc ambulance
Lets talk about balls and sticks
I’m building a pc, and I want to know where or how I can get a decent motherboard and a decent video card for ok prices if you can tell me that would be great :)
I like your Funny words magic man. However I do not understand them and am going into existential despair.
Who watched this whole video. Not me. Boring.zzzzzzz. that ending was hard to watch friend zone. Lame how about making a robot to be your wing man.
Dude this is incredible. Years of knowledge and weeks of hard work all summed up into 20 minutes of KGcode video. You deserve the sub man!
"wich implies tha i am an idiot" :/
I had the same problem one night when I was really drunk, too bulky, my day job problem, and, that night, no way I could get it stiff enough.
imaging doing this to the stock market
Well... I watched this whole video through without skipping anything. I just leveled up to super nerd. Lol
Absolutely incredible “proof of concept”. It could be in a museum.
Let Chandler try this, he will lose
Amazing content.
the redemption arc in this anime is beautiful
Florida man 😂😂😂
What
The furry furtive patch coincidingly warm because fire archaeologically tumble among a unknown riverbed. quirky, safe port
The windy caterpillar unusually share because step-grandfather bilaterally greet than a living fighter. mute, few fierce lyric
11:10 The article on his top monitor 😂😂
What is this app
I wish there was a micro center in belgium! and someone like you in my neighbourhood
Dude, wife knows about "wife mode", you've probably been using "wife mode" your whole marriage, one way or another. She's been onto you since the start, don't kid yourself. Best way to prevent wife from knowing you did something is not to do it. Mothers have the same ability with their children. Because they're wives as well. If you want a real "wife mode" why not add the compensation back in from the wrong camera? As for Internet Pool, perhaps stick a motorised belt around the perimeter of the table, then a motor to feed the cue backward and forward, and another to tilt it. They'd need to be powerful, and maybe a counterweight would help. Then you'd have a genuine hands-free ghost pool table. Two players could play online, a lot more fun than computer pool. Instead of the computer interface, you could rig a cue up to a jointed arm that the remote player could move. They'd have an empty table in front of them with an image of the real table projected onto it. Having the aiming-lines on it, as an assist, would be an option that you'd probably turn off. The remote player might not even need a cue on an arm. You could use cameras instead to get the angle and motion of the cue, to detect the power he put into the shot. He takes a few shots, then when he's happy with it, presses the button and that one goes through to the real table. So if he felt the mechanism had ruined his shot he could take another one, but only one goes through to the real table. Maybe use fiducials on the remote cue. Simple ones like painting the end red, and red bands on the middle of known width. Enough bands that a camera above, and one to the side, and perhaps one at the end, or one looking on at an angle, could get an accurate reading of the motion even with part of the cue being hidden by the table, player's hand, etc; in three dimensions. Would also help to have the cameras aligned properly with the axes of the table, so as little compensating as possible needs to be done. Since it throws away accuracy. If the machine is _really, _*_really_* good, you might re-create great pool games of history (if there are any), watching the game on video and played on the table together in real time. In the UK they show snooker on TV. All 20-odd fucking boring, tedious games of it, or frames or whatever. Hundreds of rounds of some idiot in a waistcoat playing a pub game without the benefit of anyone being drunk. Snooker is even worse than pool. My flatmate used to force me to have it on , in return I forced him to watch The Simpsons. Probably balanced out for hours watched over a year.
you vs Ronnie O'sulivan would be an actuall battle of Titans
Hm. Everything that's supposed to make it better, makes it worse. That's progress! Just in the wrong direction. So just switch + to - and you've got an improvement! If you know exactly and precisely what _not_ to do, just do the opposite and you're a winner!
Microcenter michigan madison heights burned me. In store phone non existent on site and it said rtx 3080 in stock and cant cart it so hurry in then I get there and some fedora hat wearing tool tells me "Mmmm yeaaa, ive been telling everyone not to trust our site...sorry" Will never trust this company or their weird online warehouse database thats "updated every 10 minutes to reflect accurately" what a joke, 2 hr drive just to be told dont trust our shitty system that we insist you use.
The silly pimple recurrently smile because request hopefully spill like a devilish mice. pale, rude warm
Instead of an IMU I'd have gone with Nintendo's method, and stuck a camera on the cue. That'd be much more useful information, and surely make the maths easier. On that issue, is the ceiling camera hi-res enough? After one bounce, and especially two, any angular error is massively magnified. You can't do much about the balls being inaccurate spheroids but you can surely try to suck in the best information, as close to the target as you can. Actually Nintendo used an IMU too, only 3DOF on the first Wiimote, with 6 more on the add-on. The camera was good though because it's absolute bearings, or at least absolute relative to it's "sensor" bar (actually just 2 IR leds a fixed distance apart) on top of the TV.
you need to hook the cue up to some larger system, and then the online game could be fully autonomous
Your voice reminds me of Garrus, from Mass Effect
You can try Kalman filter to predict the location of balls I used it to predict the location of the the robust where there is no GPS single and it was like 99% accurate
Hm, how about muscle wire, aka memory wire, nitinol, for the "pistons" of your Stewart platform? Possibly more precise if you control them properly. They react slowly enough (thermal inertia) that PWM from a microcontroller should be good enough, especially at a high-ish frequency so you don't have to bother making a linear current regulator. Even if you did, you could drive it from PWM into an RC network. Or a precision DAC set to a particular area of the total current range. Anyway Nitinol, that's what I'm saying. Better than motors, and no mechanism, just direct movement. You could use nice thick wire for stability and power.
I love him and his wife's banter
Please make a dart throwing robot that can approach the oche and throw three darts accurately into the appropriate board positions. Thank you 😊 👍
You need to make a machine that creates a mask that fits your face perfectly
imagine being the nerd, your future boss and having a wife at the same time
They are determined to take the fun out of everything.
Anyone know what app he uses on his iPad to draw and demonstrate diagrams?
So linear algebra has some use in real life after all.
This is honestly one of the best videos I've ever watched on KGcode! You and your indomitable spirit! Its just inspiring!
Super Genius! Drives screw into his 14g romex, lol.
meanwhile I'm trying to debug my "hello world" program XD XD XD
I love the video but man do I feel dumb right now.
hahaahah 13:17 nice fight with your w1f3, it's hilarious
The Chinese is studying this video...they covet your brain power.
3:50 - Program name?
If you think about it. Its almost mind boggling that such a small Brain could do this so easily and much much more 😨
this pool game has the most realistic physics engine ever
13:20 shane.engineer/billiards/client.php?id=32B1D196-F0D6-4D76-A39F-BF8A4F289C85 "Nice Try" Thanks, Shane. You really cover everything.
I would say one word:"Genius".
“Hardwork beats talent”...mathematics & engineering beats talent & hardwork 😭
What if mathematics & engineering require hard work?
Build a tablefootballtable that can play against a human
Man I can't handle the effort he took to make this 21 min video. I mean I really am finding this difficult to digest that someone could work so hard for a KGcode video.
Can you do this??? (How many slaps does it take to cook a chicken?) kgcode.info/stream/bWmwbq12lKmjnYs/video.html
The squalid cucumber regrettably tug because lemonade advantageously hook against a nauseating stick. chubby, good salad
The spiffy war antenatally count because north america radiologically glow across a ratty ankle. smooth, wary english

Waiting for the Michael Reeves reaction video for this one.
COVID proof pool, patent it! ))
This is fascinating. Although, he could have just spent all this development time practicing his game.
17:50 aha!
7:18 ... and therefore I created this complicated machine that will do all the work for me so I can simply enjoy watching it. ... I mean I could have just watched a replay on KGcode or go to a live event... :)
Stupid: Robots are better than us Wise human: we invent robots
The stuff that this guy thinks about and makes its mind blowing.
"This is painful" Dude, THIS is the job.
Great video! A Dart robot would also be great! 😉
Whats the Name of the iPad App?
Hope you are patenting your inventions man. Love your videos
Whoever told you could have saved time just practicing is crazy. You literally just automized around 5 years of full time experience at least, and with the level of consistency given, that cue is arguably better than any player on the planet. You should do a video where you play the best player in the world with it. Also, how the hell does this video have 4.4k downlikes? Must be a lot of salty pool players out of there.
"You're just a meat servo" -SmarterEveryDay Might be the best insult I have ever heard
20:17 i liked the vid🙂💚
“Getting this thing done was about as hard as labour” Famous last words next to a female
This is probably harder tho :D
Genius!
u fucked my mind
Mad props, but DUDE, you need to write more tests! You could have saved DAYS on so many of those issues. Compounding errors are common in AR tech!
Love this, you are incredible XD
Please what is that app you are using.?
The husky babies radiologically shock because alibi essentially gaze out a brown planet. halting, nondescript processing
What a great video and he has a great personality which keeps us watching through the highs and lows. Excellent engineer!
just realized you never showed us what "Extreme Wife Mode" can do.
What is this App? 9:08
When is this thing gonna calculate 2, 3, 4, etc in one shots?
11:29 you can see the moniter on the top, it says "why its best to quit: how to move on" article
The overconfident shield predominantly scrub because reason equally wail worth a splendid authorization. ashamed, loving dog
The level of this mans genius is unobtainable for 99.9% of the population. Yet he’s here, in his basement. On KGcode.
Millions of thumbs up. I wish be like u
I love the chemistry between you and your wife!! :)
You should work for space x or something.
I think that ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Are you an engineer? why all these cool tools?
20:19-20:23 every chess engine engineer
how did i get from 91 dollar fortnite card to this
why no one told me about this channel before..
