AI taught me to be a (slightly) better badminton player at CES

The Industrial Technology Research Institute was in Las Vegas to show off a new AI-driven trainer that uses image analysis and data inference to improve an athlete’s performance. The sport that served as our demonstration? Badminton. 

I am not what you would call a finely tuned athletic machine. I am, if anything, an outdated lawnmower engine held together by duct tape and rust. So when I was offered the opportunity to let AI help make me a better athlete at CES, I jumped at the opportunity.
