Task: Catch Rolling Ball

A ping-pong ball is released on an incline and rolls freely across the workspace. The robot must intercept the ball before it rolls out of reach and drop it into a bin.

A trial is successful when the ball is caught in time and placed in the bin.

Because the target moves and the grasp is time-critical, the task tests motion anticipation.
