Tennibot :: AI-Powered Autonomous Ball Machines & Robotic Ball Collectors for Tennis, Pickleball & Padel

Tennibot is a U.S.-based robotics company (headquartered in Auburn, Alabama) that develops AI-powered autonomous ball machines and robotic ball collectors for tennis, pickleball, and padel. Founded to revolutionize racket sports training, the company combines robotics, computer vision, and intelligent software to create smart training tools that reduce manual labor, increase practice efficiency, and provide realistic, adaptive training experiences for players, coaches, and clubs of all levels.

Tennibot’s products are designed to eliminate the repetitive and time-consuming aspects of court maintenance and ball feeding, allowing users to focus on actual skill development. The systems are built for durability across multiple surfaces (hard, clay, grass, and artificial turf) and can operate both indoors and outdoors.

Key robot-based products include:

• Tennibot Partner (Ball Machine): An intelligent, mobile ball launcher that uses AI to simulate realistic rallies, drills, and match play. It can move autonomously around the court, adjust shot speed, spin, direction, and height in real time, and deliver varied patterns. The Partner holds up to 140 tennis balls or 250 pickleballs and offers extended battery life (up to 5 hours). Users control it via a mobile app for custom drills, court positioning, and performance tracking.
• Tennibot Rover (Ball Collector): An autonomous robotic collector that roams the court to pick up scattered balls and deliver them back to the ball machine or a designated station. It works independently or in tandem with the Partner, significantly reducing downtime and manual chasing. The Rover is equipped with advanced navigation and obstacle avoidance to operate safely around players.
• Tennibot Station: A docking and charging base that works with the Rover and Partner for automated reloading and recharging, enabling continuous training sessions with minimal user intervention.

The company emphasizes user-friendly design, realistic training experiences, and strong customer support. Tennibot products have received positive feedback from coaches and players for their reliability, adaptability, and ability to replicate match-like conditions. The systems are positioned as premium training solutions for individuals, academies, clubs, and professional programs.
