No tennis partner? No problem with this AI robot.
Enjoy solo tennis anytime with this innovative technology.
Having a personal tennis coach who is always available, never gets tired, hits perfect shots, and adapts to your skill level would be ideal.
The PongBot, a revolutionary AI-powered tennis robot, is gaining attention in the tennis community.
This isn't just another tennis-serving machine; it's an intelligent training companion that enhances your game.
What makes PongBot unique?
The PongBot's clip-on sensor tracks your position on the court, allowing it to deliver customized shots based on your location. This technology enhances the AI match training feature by adjusting ball speed and spin in real time, creating a highly immersive and challenging training experience.
Customizable drills that adapt to you
The PongBot app allows you to create personalized training experiences by creating custom drills at the individual ball level. You can program a sequence of shots like a deep forehand return, followed by a short backhand, two volleys, and an overhead shot, and save it for your next practice session. The PongBot offers up to 300 preprogrammed drills with three difficulty levels, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned players.
AI match training
The AI match training feature is the true game-changer. The robot analyzes your court position and performance, adjusting ball speed and spin to simulate real match conditions. It's like having a smart opponent who knows how to challenge you.
Technical capabilities that wow
The PongBot is not only intelligent but also potent. It can hurl balls at speeds of up to 80 mph with different spin types (topspin, underspin, or no spin), achieving up to 60 rotations per second. With a ball capacity of 150 and an eight-hour battery life, you'll have ample time for a rigorous training session.
