The TERO AI system for tennis and the CARRY AI system for basketball are being hailed by athletes, coaches and industry leaders as game-changers.
/PRNewswire/ — LUMISTAR concluded its CES 2026 debut by generating tremendous excitement from attendees, media and industry professionals through live demonstrations of its AI-enabled tennis and basketball training systems that consistently packed audiences throughout the show.
Tero and Carry at Lumistar CES
During several days of hands-on demonstrations, the LUMISTAR booth became a focal point for athletes, coaches, club operators and sports technology experts, with many describing the experience as a fundamental shift in the way sports training can be delivered, measured and developed.
Visitors have repeatedly called both systems “revolutionary” citing their ability to actively participate in a workout rather than just record results.
A break from traditional training machines
For decades, sports training technology has been characterized by repetition and static programming. Traditional ball machines perform predefined exercises. Wearable devices and video systems analyze performance after sessions end.
LUMISTAR’s AI-based training systems challenge this model.
By combining real-time computer vision, adaptive decision-making and field execution, EARTH (AI system for tennis training) and CARRY (AI system for basketball training) react instantly to the athlete’s behavior – adjusting difficulty, tempo and training logic, shot by shot.
Participants noted that this shift transforms repetitive practice training into an evolving dialogue between the athlete and the system, closely resembling real-world competitive environments.
From data collection to conservation and action
One of the most commonly cited benefits of CES visitors is the systems’ ability to transform raw performance data into immediately actionable training results.
Unlike traditional solutions that generate fragmented or underutilized data, LUMISTAR’s platform emphasizes:
- Continuous retention of data across sessions
- Real-time performance interpretation
- Clear visualization of training progress and effectiveness
Coaches and athletes noted that this approach significantly reduced wasted training time while accelerating skill acquisition, making each session measurable, comparable and goal-oriented.
Strong anticipation before marketing
Interest in the products has extended well beyond the show floor. Many professional coaches, training academies and sports clubs have expressed strong intentions to adopt the systems as soon as they become available, citing their potential to redefine daily training routines and reduce reliance on constant human supervision.
“This is not an incremental improvement, but a complete overhaul of what workout equipment should do,” said a professional trainer at CES.
“For the first time, it is the machine that reacts to the athlete, and not the other way around.”
Next steps
After its presentation at CES:
- EARTHLUMISTAR’s tennis training AI system, will be available for pre-order starting from mars 2026and will be available on the market from May 2026.
- CARRYthe AI system for basketball training, will be launched via Kickstarter in the second quarter of 2026.
LUMISTAR will continue private demonstrations and pilot programs with selected training institutions worldwide prior to commercial deployment. For more details, please visit www.lumistar.ai.
