Lumistar has two exciting announcements for AI-based training partners for basketball and tennis fans. What follows is the press release:

AI MOVES FROM DATA TO COURT: LUMISTAR INTRODUCES NEW AI TRAINING  PARTNER FOR SPORTS 

LUMISTAR’S AI-Powered tennis and basketball machines  

will be exclusively previewed at CES 2026 

Los Angeles, CA, USA, December 22, 2025 – Sports training has always depended  on one scarce resource: people. Coaches, sparring partners, and competitive  environments are difficult to access on-demand—making high-quality training  expensive, time-bound, and difficult to scale. LUMISTAR is changing all of that.  

At CES 2026, LUMISTAR will unveil the reimagined AI Tennis and Basketball Launching  Machines. Say goodbye to needing a partner every time you want to practice; these  ultimate AI human-like, on-court partners are a sleek new release that goes beyond  what even a coach or practice partner can achieve. 

Designed to predict movement, understand performance quality, and respond instantly,  LUMISTAR turns AI from a passive analytics layer into an active training partner—one  that introduces variability, pressure, and decision-making into every session. 

An Intelligent, Ever-Evolving Training Platform 

Traditional training machines operate on fixed routines. LUMISTAR takes a  fundamentally different approach. 

LUMISTAR’s AI training platform is built specifically for real-world court environments. Using proprietary AI algorithms, computer vision, and advanced sensor hardware, the  system tracks full-body movement and ball trajectories, analyzes performance instantly,  and dynamically adjusts training parameters. 

Core capabilities include: 

– Real-time player and ball tracking across full-size courts 

– Adaptive training logic that evolves with athlete performance 

– Vision-based feedback and automatic calibration

– App-connected performance insights for long-term progress 

– Voice, gesture, and mobile controls for intuitive interaction 

Guided by a philosophy of intelligence, self-evolution, and exploration, LUMISTAR  designs systems that grow alongside the athlete—supporting continuous improvement  rather than one-time performance gains. 

For Tennis players: Inspired by the fluid mechanics of gimbal systems and  contemporary sports design language, TERO features a compact, sculptural form that  balances functional precision with visual elegance, and be easily brought to games on  the court as the ultimate partner, ready for your next match. 

With the world’s first angle auto-calibration for perfect shot alignment, a 4k cutting edge  dual camera, accurate real-time ball-speed recognition, trajectory prediction, dual  motors, and landing-point calculation the TERO can keep up with any pro with true  precision, thanks to the most responsive and adaptive software out there.  

Simultaneously, the TERO evaluates return quality of the shot and instantly generates  next-ball parameters for ideal speed, spin, placement, tempo. Its signature Lumi Ring LED light provides real-time visual feedback, making the system’s intelligence visible on the court. No need for a tennis partner every time you practice; you’ve found your AI  partner and training coach.  

The TERO will officially enter pre-sale in April 2026, with full sales beginning in May  2026. 

For Basketball players: LUMISTAR’s basketball training system applies the same intelligent principles to shooting and movement training. Using an integrated AI camera,  the system analyzes shooting form and trajectory in real time while tracking  performance trends over time. Designed for effortless deployment, the basketball  system is fully portable and can be easily set up on any court—whether indoors,  outdoors, or at training facilities.  

Through a connected app, athletes can visualize heat maps, accuracy data, and  progress curves, enabling focused, targeted improvement. Multi-player tracking and  intuitive gesture recognition support both individual and team-based training scenarios. 

The basketball machine will launch its Kickstarter campaign in April 2026. 

In-person demos will be available at CES on January 6th and 7th in Las Vegas,  Nevada.
