Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical approach for a humanoid robot performing autonomously in a golf setting. The main concentration of this research is on using vision and mathematical calculations to perform and evaluate the success of each test. Most of the problems encountered in making a humanoid perform complex actions like playing golf arise from the constraints in their features and implementations. Parts of the solution comprise linear interpolation and angle calculation. Challenges faced and solved include some that will lead to a better understanding of human–robot interaction.
