Robots have been used in diverse areas and for the purpose of ball catching. This paper takes a review on selected techniques on research of ball catching robotic arm. Our priority basis upon some factor including speed of ball, initial distance of ball from the robotic arm, vision algorithm complexity to calculate results and their final accuracy in catching the ball. The given papers are selected according to the vision and control capabilities of the current research in the given field. To begin with we explore the control, planning and visual sensing aspects, and then a brief survey of the selected techniques on research of ball catching robots both from the hardware and software perspective is presented.
