01 — Precision in Motion
Robo PG is the first autonomous, AI-powered point guard — a robot that moves around the court, tracks players via computer vision, and passes like the game is actually played. Not just a shooting machine, but a next-gen training platform.
02 — The Problem
Basketball players at every level waste time chasing balls in solo drills or with static shooting machines that squander reps on rigid, non-game-like shots. Modern offense lives on the perimeter — drive-and-kick, swing-swing, trail threes — yet every incumbent machine passes from under the rim.
Their workouts lack real-time feedback and the ability to benchmark on a broader scale — leaving players isolated and stalled in skill growth. The pass is the shot's setup, and passes come from everywhere on the floor, not one fixed point.
MVP Traction
IP secured. AI robotics technology patent filed — protecting the core innovation.
Signed LOIs and committed schools include Oklahoma State, LSU, Creighton, Prolific Prep, and BTS, with additional LOIs expected by the end of 2026.
Strong interest from coaches, players and academies across the U.S., Europe, and beyond.
03 — Meet Robo PG

In development
Our planned catching net will feature an embedded smart camera and double as a five-ball reloading and charging station. Two Robo PG robots will alternate between passing and docking to keep training moving.
04 — How It Works
Robo PG is engineered by Robocor, the Jacksonville-based autonomous robotics company behind the Guardian security platform — deployed live at Nimnicht Chevrolet, Florida State College Jacksonville, and the Jacksonville Innovation Hub. Their Morpheus Drive AI motors are powering our system while cutting build costs by 65%.
Onboard cameras + IMU track the court, hoop, and player 60 times per second. Skeletal mapping identifies position, velocity, and movement intent.
Edge AI selects pass type, trajectory, and timing based on player position, velocity, and drill context — adaptive in real time.
The ball-feed mechanism releases the pass within ±4 inches of target at the correct velocity — from anywhere on the floor.
Robocor's plug-and-play modules slash build costs — allowing Robo PG to undercut incumbents by 10–20% while maintaining superior technology.
Energy-efficient designs and modular production mean quicker deployments and rapid iteration across home, gym, and team environments.
The Robocor alliance enables Robo PG to aggressively compete and beat incumbents on technology AND price — a compounding moat.
05 — vs. The Incumbents
Incumbents are "shooting machines" — hardware only, stationary, no autonomy. Robo PG is a Robotic AI Coach: mobile, adaptive, and a global platform.
