Summary
A humanoid robot has been developed to throw an American football with precise control over release conditions, including spin injection, to achieve flight stability and targeting accuracy. This advances beyond prior robotic throwing work that focused mainly on release velocity without explicit spi...

What happened
Accurate throwing of the American football requires precise regulation of release conditions, where coupled linear and angular momentum determine flight stability and targeting accuracy. While prior work on robotic object throwing has largely focused on generating dynamically feasible release velocities using...
