Futurewave works in collaboration with Botronics on the iXi robot golf trolley, which optimizes the golf experience while utilizing AI technology as well. It is a robot that moves around on four wheels and carries bags of golf clubs, following golfers around wherever they go. It is a self-driving device that gives players more convenience during play and allows them to focus on playing golf.
The iXi is designed with intelligence and sensors to follow their user around and AI technology is only the second purpose. It can also analyze the player's swing to provide statistics and insights that could potentially improve their overall gameplay. It is similar to the golf smartwatches but it gets a view of the player's posture and swing with cameras and sensors.
