About

Shyh-Haur Su is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the intersection of computer vision and robotic manipulation, with a particular focus on real-time dynamic object interaction. His major contributions lie in developing robotic systems capable of high-speed ball catching and throwing, integrating stereo vision for precise 3D spatial awareness. In his landmark 2010 paper, "A ball-throwing robot with visual feedback," Su introduced a system that uses cubic polynomials to map robot commands to target positions, enabling accurate ball placement into a basket—a foundational study that has garnered 19 citations. Expanding on this, his work on "A robotic ball catcher with embedded visual servo processor" (6 citations) demonstrates a significant technical leap: employing an embedded visual servo processor with parallel computing to track and triangulate a flying ball in real-time using recursive least squares estimation. This achievement showcases Su's ability to push the boundaries of visual servoing, moving from static to dynamic environments. His research is particularly notable for its practical applications in industrial automation and sports robotics, offering students and researchers a compelling model of how vision-based feedback can enable robots to perform complex, time-critical tasks with remarkable precision.
