Automated Intelligent Coaching for Racket Sports

Racketware公司发明了一种轻巧的小型电子传感器，可以安装在球拍上，记录整个比赛中球拍的运动。它最初是针对壁球，但适用于所有球拍运动和超越。Racketware利用这些数据开发了突破性的球拍跟踪技术，可以每秒数百次准确地跟踪球员的球拍在球场上的位置和方向，而无需安装信标或进行其他球场修改。这个由Innovate UK资助的项目允许Racketware在这些跟踪数据的基础上建立一套强大的人工智能算法，该算法是与世界级的英格兰壁球教练和领先的学术研究人员共同开发的。这些算法可以自动分析球员在击球时的移动模式、战术和技术，从而为每场比赛提供有价值的智能自动化教练反馈和表现统计。Racketware系统可以在实际比赛条件下为大量球员提供高质量的指导，而成本只是当今教练成本的一小部分。

Racketware have created a small lightweight electronic sensor that attaches to a racket and records the motion of that racket during an entire match. It is targeted initially at squash but is applicable to all racket sports and beyond. Racketware have developed breakthrough racket tracking technology using this data that allows the player's racket to be tracked accurately in terms of its position and orientation on the court hundreds of times a second, without needing beacons to be installed, or other court modifications. This Innovate UK grant-funded project has allowed Racketware to build on this tracking data a powerful set of Artificial Intelligence algorithms developed in conjunction with world class England Squash coaches and leading academic researchers. These algorithms can automatically analyse player's movement patterns, tactics, and technique when striking the ball, so as to provide valuable intelligent automated coaching feedback and performance statistics for every match played. The Racketware system makes quality coaching accessible to a large number of players under actual match conditions, at a fraction of the cost of coaching today.
