Incubated by SwitchBot, the world’s leading smart home brand, Acemate was born from a collaboration between top AI visual engineers—many from Microsoft and Google—and a hardware powerhouse with proven product success.

Two years ago, our team encountered a common frustration shared by tennis enthusiasts: the lack of a reliable, consistent training partner. This sparked the vision for Acemate—a tennis robot capable of simulating real human rallies.

By combining advanced visual algorithms with SwitchBot’s hardware expertise, we created a robot with “eyes,” “hands,” and “legs”—binocular cameras for tracking, a built-in net hopper for receiving, and omnidirectional wheels for movement. Acemate doesn’t just shoot balls—it sees, reacts, and rallies like a real player.

Now, solo tennis training becomes truly immersive—powered by real-time AI and engineered for pros and beginners alike.

Production Ready

From prototypes to production – Acemate is ready to roll. All core components have been finalized and tested. We’ve worked closely with trusted suppliers to ensure everything is in place for a smooth manufacturing process once funding is complete.

Our Story

Acemate was founded by a skilled AI visual team with years of expertise in visual algorithms, many of whom come from Microsoft and Google. Two years ago, our team experienced a common frustration shared by many tennis enthusiasts: the difficulty of finding a reliable partner for consistent training. This challenge sparked the idea for Acemate—a tennis robot designed to simulate baseline rallies.

Leveraging our deep knowledge of visual algorithms, we set out to transform traditional tennis machines. By integrating binocular cameras, a net hopper, and omnidirectional wheels, Acemate brings the game to life with its “eyes,” “hands,” and “legs.” This innovation enables the machine to track, receive, and move, mimicking the actions of a real tennis partner. Thus, Acemate was born—a revolutionary training tool for tennis players worldwide.
