Smart Automated Cricket Bowling System Using Motor Control and Sensors

Cricket training traditionally depends on manual bowling practice, which often lacks consistency and requires continuous human effort. To overcome these limitations, this research presents the design and implementation of a smart automated cricket bowling system that utilizes motor control techniques combined with sensor-based feedback mechanisms. The system is capable of delivering cricket balls at adjustable speeds and trajectories with improved accuracy and repeatability. A high-torque motor arrangement is used to propel the ball, while sensors are integrated to monitor ball presence, wheel rotation, and system safety conditions. A microcontroller coordinates the overall operation, enabling controlled ball release timing and speed regulation. The proposed solution provides a cost-effective and portable training platform suitable for beginners and intermediate players. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the developed system offers reliable performance, reduced manual intervention, and consistent ball delivery compared to conventional practice methods.
