This study aims at developing a stroke control system in a racket-wielding robot using a combination of proximity sensor and pneumatic actuator to optimize a shuttlecock hit. As the shuttlecock can come at any time and from any directions, this racket-wielding robot is developed to produce accuracy in its serving distance, service timing, and arm swing, resulting in an optimum hit. A research and development method was employed in this study with every stage of the sub-system development was tested for evaluation and revision. This study has developed and implemented a prototype of a stroke control system for a racket-wielding robot on the bases of proximity sensor and pneumatic actuator. The shuttlecock-wielding arm has functioned properly with a success rate of 100%, while the achieved hitting rate was 70%.
