Made by the Russian company Promobot, the robot has been signed as an assistant under head coach Kazys Maksvytis.
Its tasks will include the collection and analysis of data during matches. Using neural networks, the robot will process the statistical indicators of the players, and then calculate the optimal combinations of basketball players on the court, combinations, substitutions and provide data to the head coach. It will be present at home games only.
This is the first time in history that artificial intelligence will participate in the work of a professional sports team coaching staff.
