Abstract:
1. A ball delivery system configured to deliver ball based on an automated assessment of a player performance from a sensor data comprising: ball ejector successively ejecting a plurality of game balls according to specified ball delivery parameters; plurality of motion sensors, each motion sensor is configured to capture data that measures the performance of the player interacting with the ball ejecting and communicating the sensor data to a computer for analysis; said computer is configured to (1) analyze the sensor data for the purpose of assessing performance of the player for a motion type (2) automatically select a next a recommended motion type by the computer and parameters based on the player performance assessment (3) calculate ball delivery parameters including trajectory, speed, and delay to be transmitted to the ball ejector for subsequently eject the game balls based on said player performance assessment and the recommended next motion type and parameters; (4) transmit said ball delivery parameters to a ball ejector controller to set the ball delivery parameters for subsequently ejecting the balls; and said ball ejector controller is configured to accept data signal to set the ball delivery parameters for subsequently eject the balls and adapt the ball ejector to conform to the ball delivery parameters.
