ITRI Introduces Wellness Technologies at CES 2025
The AI Badminton Trainer utilizes advanced AI image analysis and data inference techniques to enhance players’ training and performance. Its compact design features vertically stacked chips that boost signal speed and reduce the need for multiple devices. A high-speed video camera captures player movements, and the data including swing posture and hitting position is sent to a cloud platform. Gen AI then analyzes the skills and provides instant feedback with personalized training programs. This technology is already being used in gym centers, setting a new benchmark for AI-driven sports training.
Booth visitors at CES 2025 can play badminton in both personal training and match scenarios, where they can witness the AI Badminton Trainer’s real-time 3D visual analysis in action, including how it tracks shuttlecock speeds and maps precise trajectories. They will also have the opportunity to experience the system’s AI-powered capability in auto-generating training programs tailored to their skills and playing style and providing insights into strategic gameplay through virtual opponent simulations.
The AI Badminton Trainer includes these key features:
- 3D visual analysis: Tracks shuttlecock speed in real-time (up to 300 km/h) and maps the shuttlecock’s trajectory.
- Shot statistics and strategy analysis: Provides detailed insights into shot patterns and playing style, offering scientific metrics and real-time data to support athletes with industry-leading training feedback.
- Automated training program generation: Uses 3D visual analysis and AI algorithms to create personalized training sessions based on individual needs.
- Opponent strategy analysis and virtual opponent simulation: Simulates opponent strategies and offers interactive training, enabling users to practice in realistic match scenarios.
Compared to other sports monitoring products on the market, the AI Badminton Trainer offers unique 3D visual capabilities, with real-time technical analysis and interactive training modes tailored for professional and recreational use.
The AI Badminton Trainer’s technical advantages include:
- High precision: Equipped with 3D measurement intelligent cameras that analyze shuttle speed, trajectory, and hitting motion with a precision increase of 3%, leading the industry.
- Advanced 3D packaging technology: Integrates AI chips and high-speed cameras through 3D packaging, reducing device volume by 80% and cost by 60%, with easy installation (plug and play).
- Comprehensive AI ecosystem: Collaborates with Microsoft for cloud-based AI services, establishing a complete AI application ecosystem that supports intelligent analysis and data processing.
The AI Badminton Trainer has the potential to expand into other sports, such as tennis and volleyball, making it versatile across various athletic training fields and adaptable for rapid deployment in related industries. The AI Badminton Trainer offers a professional, interactive, and unmanned solution for sports training, integrating digital and intelligent analysis into badminton training to enhance both performance and safety.
