PongBot builds AI-powered robotic training systems for tennis and table tennis that use robotics, computer vision, and software to give players adaptive, data-driven practice.
Pongbot is addressing the shortage and cost of quality coaching by combining stable ball feeding with computer vision, AI feedback, and adaptive training; its latest coverage reports more than 300,000 global users and more than 2 billion accumulated serves. The near-RMB-200-million A-series and the subsequently reported several-hundred-million-yuan Series B are a bet that this hardware-plus-software platform can scale professional-style training, expand into more sports, and build a global data advantage.
