LUMISTAR's AI Basketball Training Robot Raises Over $1 Million on Kickstarter
LUMISTAR's AI basketball training robot, CARRY, successfully raised over $1 million on Kickstarter within its first day. The robot aims to address common challenges faced by amateur players, such as the lack of a partner to pass the ball, correct shooting techniques, and track progress during practice sessions. The significance of this crowdfunding achievement lies in the robot's innovative features, including four 4K cameras that provide a 190° field of view, enabling it to track player movements and adjust ball delivery in real-time. This technology enhances the training experience by allowing players to focus on their shooting techniques without interruptions. Looking ahead, the CARRY robot is priced starting at $2,399 for early backers, with retail pricing around $4,299. The demand for such training aids in the North American market suggests a growing interest in automated sports training solutions. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
