Acemate Rally Play Tennis Robot
Most tennis robots simply sit in place, serving balls up for players to hit. Using a combination of AI smarts, omnidirectional wheels, and a binocular 4K vision system, the Acemate slides around the court, "returning" shots back across the net. It does so not with a racquet, but by catching the prior shot in a net and shooting another previously caught or loaded ball back to the player. Its AI smarts allow for in-app analysis of landing spots, accuracy, and more. It can return at speeds up to 80 mph and 24' high, and runs for up to four hours per charge of its rechargeable, swappable battery.
