A machine for setting up bowling pins in predetermined positions. The machine includes: a movable distributing arm, suitable for releasing the pins one by one each at one of the predetermined positions, and a primary system for positioning the distributing arm with respect to the predetermined positions. The primary system is devised for an operating cycle moving the distributing arm according to a fixed sequence. A lifting wheel sweeps away the pins and delivers the pins to the distributing arm. A motor moves the distributing arm, the primary positioning system and the lifting wheel (3). A secondary system interferes with the primary positioning system enabling the user to define a position chosen from the predetermined positions with a view to the set-up, by the machine, of a pin in the chosen position.

A computer-implemented method, comprising obtaining, in real-time, video data of a video depicting at least a portion of a bowling pinsetter, detecting at least one of a bowling pin, a distributor, or a pin station in a video frame of the video, determining a class associated with the detected at least one bowling pin, distributor, or pin station, the class being one of a set of defined classes for identifying an error state of the bowling pinsetter, and in response to determining that the class is indicative of pinsetter error, activating a stopper component for temporarily pausing operation of the bowling pinsetter.
