About Tenniix Tennis-oefenrobot
Tenniix is 'n kunsmatige-intelligensie-tennisrobot wat ontwerp is om as 'n oefenmaat op te tree. 'n Dubbele visiestelsel volg die speler se posisie en die bal se trajek intyds. Tenniix beweeg outonoom om houe terug te speel en om deurlopende rally's te skep. Oefentempo en -modusse word deur stemopdragte of via 'n toepassing gekies. Gebruik is eenvoudig: die voupaneel word oopgemaak, die balle word gelaai, en die oefening begin. Die robot meet 392 by 271 by 448 millimeter. Die doel is om gevorderde oefening toeganklik te maak vir spelers van alle vlakke.

Research Objectives: To create an intelligent tennis training partner that improves realism and accessibility.
Methodology: Iterative prototyping combined with field testing.
Data Collection and Tools: Motion tracking, AI vision data, usage logs, and user feedback.
Participants/Experiments: Professional athletes, coaches, and amateur players.
Results: Improved training continuity and realism.
Insights and Impacts: The research bridges elite technology and everyday training, influencing sports product design and scalable business applications. - Inspiration
- The inspiration for Tenniix emerged from extensive experience in robotics engineering and AI vision, combined with close collaboration with professional athletes and elite teams. Observing the gap between high-level training technology and everyday practice, the project was driven by the goal of translating advanced AI, motion tracking, and data-driven analysis into an intelligent, accessible training partner for tennis players at all levels.
- Project Duration
- The project was officially initiated in October 2024 in Hong Kong, completed in September 2025 in Shenzhen, and subsequently exhibited at the CES exhibition in Las Vegas in January 2026.
- Operation Flow
- Tenniix is intuitive and easy to use. Users simply open the folding panel, load the tennis balls, and begin training. The device automatically follows the player’s position and returns shots intelligently to create continuous rallies. Training pace and modes can be adjusted via voice commands or the app, without the need for complex setup.
