The contribution shows a workflow to find the optimal contact parameters that can simulate the real behavior of bouncing and colliding ball. Steps below describe the workflow:
1. Recording the trajectory of the ball
2. Post-processing the ball trajectory
3. Build a physical model using Simscape Multibody
4. Estimate the optimal contact parameters
