Robotics Engineering for Sports & Fitness

Not as a product. We design and test a launch mechanism and controller prototype for one sport and ball type, then report how consistently it delivers speed, spin and line across settings and ball wear. Turning that into a product for clubs, homes or academies needs manufacturing, product-safety and standards work, warranty and service, which a prototype engagement does not provide. We can say what that route would involve.

Not in the first stages. Bench and enclosed-net runs come first with nobody in front of the launcher, and nobody stands downrange to check aim. Supervised sessions with a coach follow only after a competent safety review agrees the guarding, stop controls, protective equipment and distances. Sessions involving junior players, open practice areas or the public are a separate decision with their own approvals, not part of this offer.

A bounded trial cannot show that. What it measures is the equipment: delivery spread, load accuracy, sensor agreement, jams, set-up time and handling time against your current method. Whether a drill helps athletes is a coaching and sports-science judgement your staff make. A machine also reproduces the ball, not a bowler's run-up or release cues, so match realism stays an open question we will not answer for you.

No. A rig built to your chosen method gives repeatable development and quality-check data, which helps you prepare. Conformity to ISO 20957, the Indian IS 17801 series or any other standard is decided by the manufacturer with an accredited laboratory, using the edition that applies to your product and market. We will record which standard part and edition the plan refers to, and leave certification to them.

Not under this offer. Competition implements, timing, start and pacing systems are approved by federations under their own rules, and federation approval is separate from both product safety and our engineering. We work on training mechanisms, test rigs and capture fixtures. If your project heads towards competition use, we will flag that early so you can plan the federation route with your manufacturer and the governing body.

As your organisation's personal data, captured only for the agreed trial. Before any session we set out what is recorded, whether athletes can be identified, who may view the files, where they live and when they are deleted. Junior athletes sit outside this offer; any later trial with them needs its own approval and parental consent. We never publish, market with or train models on athlete footage without separate written agreement.

Yes, on a defined package such as building a fixture set, running repeatability tests or integrating a sensor. We propose engineers only when they are free, you interview them, and your lead directs day-to-day priorities. The contract sets file ownership for CAD, firmware and test data. Engineers bring engineering skills, not coaching, sports-science interpretation or certification authority, and they follow your net, lab and athlete-data rules from day one.

Price depends on the sport or product, mechanism or rig complexity, the reference instruments to arrange, the test envelope and the supervision your trials need. The assessment is a fixed fee once the task is clear; prototypes are priced by milestone and engineers monthly. At the end you get files, test logs, limits and a plain recommendation: refine, stop, buy commercially or plan a product route.
