PongBot

PongBot is a Chinese sports-technology company building AI-powered ball-launching robots that act as personalized training partners for tennis, table tennis, pickleball and padel players. Its Pace-series tennis robots and Nova/Omni table-tennis robots combine custom motors and computer vision with large-language-model voice coaching to deliver multi-ball drills, shot-placement variation and real-time technique feedback. Founded in 2019 by Zhang Haibo, PongBot positions itself against legacy mechanical ball machines by emphasising training data, repeatable spin and speed, and an AI coach that adapts to each player's level.
