THE BALLPICKER, A MOBILE ROBOTICS PROJECT FOR GOLF
THE BALLPICKER,
A MOBILE ROBOTICS PROJECT FOR GOLF
Do you ever wonder how a robotics project could change your life?
In your field, are you facing a recurring problem or repetitive, time-consuming, and often tedious tasks, and do you sense that a little technological boost could help you save valuable time? You're absolutely right! A robotics project can really make a difference and alleviate the difficulty of certain tasks.
That's exactly what happened for the company BelRobotics – recently acquired by Yamabiko – and its very clever BallPicker.
A robotics project, especially in mobile robotics, allows, through complex systems, to automate tasks and provide very concrete and practical solutions to actions or problems that arise on a daily basis. The solutions developed in robotics and mobile robotics IT, in the industrial sector but also in the domestic sector, are likely to surprise us with a spectacular result, an unprecedented time saving and the possibility of devoting more time to the heart of one's business rather than to tasks that one could well do without…

Belrobotics and Quimesis: A collaboration of experts in robotic systems for a revolutionary robotics project
Inspired by their state-of-the-art industrial lawnmowers, Belrobotics (now Yamabiko) has teamed up with Quimesis to offer its golf clients a revolutionary robotics project. By combining the technology of the robot mowers already developed previously with adapted mechanics, Quimesis and Belrobotics have been able to implement a fully autonomous robotic system.

Mobile robotics serving golf players
Belrobotics is a Belgian company, part of the Yamabiko group. They've been designing,
manufacturing, and selling automatic lawnmowers for over 15 years. Their
robots are specially designed to work on large areas up to 7 hectares, targeting large gardens, sports fields, turf farms, etc.
The robotics project we're talking about here – the BallPicker – is a modern and cutting-edge robot
that reuses the best technologies from the mowers
in order to collect golf balls on driving ranges. Combined with a washing and automatic
distribution system, the BallPicker, this golf ball collecting robot, brings back up to 18,000 balls per day.

Quimesis: an expert partner for a mobile robotics project
In 2014, Belrobotics decided to design a new generation of robots that are smarter, more robust, easier to use, and with more possibilities for evolution. The company called on Quimesis for the development of this golf ball collecting robot.
Quimesis has been involved in many aspects of the BallPicker robotics project development for Belrobotics. Our engineering team specifically contributed to:
- The mechanical design of this mobile robotics project. The emphasis was placed on simplicity of design, overall robustness, ease of maintenance and accessibility of the various parts and manufacturing costs.
- Electronics. Based on Belrobotics' specifications, Quimesis designed the electronic boards for this robotics project, which manage the motors, sensors, power supply and safety aspects of this autonomous robot.
- Embedded programming. Quimesis worked on robotics-oriented embedded systems and mainly developed the control loops and real-time navigation algorithms to produce an autonomous robotic system that can canvas the golf course and automatically return to its charging station.
