AI Tennis Robots Move From Lab to Wimbledon

Galbot Robotics and Tennibot Inc. are demonstrating AI-powered training systems at Wimbledon 2026—a humanoid player achieving 96% return accuracy and an intelligent ball machine. Their presence at a Grand Slam signals robotics shifting from experimental to practical tools for professionals. Whether these systems can convincingly mimic opponent tactics remains unproven, though commercial rollout timelines are accelerating.
