Development of a Haptic Fishing Robot

In this paper, a haptic fishing robot, Fishbot, for virtual fishing system is presented, to simulate the motion of fish. XY table is controlled by position servo drivers with variable torque constraint to move Fishbot, and a wheel axis is controlled by a torque servo driver. Finally, our Fishbot detects the end point of a fishing pole with stereo camera to recognize the fishing pole of a user, and thus it can interface with a virtual reality system.
