Abstract
This work explains an approach to implement an autonomous ball catching quad copter by combining object detection and trajectory calculations. To accomplish this, a quad copter is used to autonomously catch a ball by dynamically calculating trajectory and the interception point using two Kinects. This approach is tested in a two-step process. First successful test is done on a flat surface (table) and the second test is done in the air.
