For many professional team trainers, recording players' training conditions in the past often required manual effort However, by mounting sensors on sports equipment and combining them with corresponding AI devices, it's now possible to easily record training data Massive Digital Engineering has launched the napa smart badminton racket, digitizing the often abstract actions in sports, which assists athletes in finding the right training direction Introduction to Massive Digital Engineering Established in 2000, Massive Digital Engineering focuses on data analysis and mining in areas such as ERP, Industry 40, and financial big data It services manufacturing industries like chemicals, sports equipment, and automotive components, as well as various retail and distribution sectors by offering system development, customization, installation, and integration, helping companies enhance operational efficiency The company excels in cloud big data, using publicly traded financial databanks to design up to 92 financial assessment standards, which serve as benchmarks for businesses to improve their corporate structures Additionally, in response to Industry 40 and smart manufacturing trends, Massive Digital Engineering continues to develop innovative intelligent technologies aiming to boost production efficiency while reducing costs and pollution The napa smart badminton racket handle embeds high-performance sensors that automatically transmit the collected data for AI-driven analysis to an app Massive Digital Engineering showcased the napa smart badminton racket at the AI HUB Conference Recently at the AI HUB Conference, Massive Digital Engineering unveiled the extensively developed napa smart badminton racket, digitizing complex and hard-to-measure sports movements applicable in various competitive sports This tool helps coaches in training and assists athletes in finding the right direction For leisure and entertainment, the napa smart badminton racket can transform traditional courts into smart courts, complete with real-time data display boards on both sides of the court This not only displays scores during matches but also enables players to instantly access various swing data, vastly enhancing the fun and interactive aspect of the game With years of experience in data analysis and mining, one may wonder why Massive Digital Engineering ventured into the sports domain It turns out that there is a backstory involving long-term subcontracting work for the well-known sports brand WILSON, combined with the good reputation of its own Napa badminton rackets and familiarity with badminton-related products Hence, starting from the basic physical product of the racket, years of AI research were integrated into the development of the napa smart badminton racket project The sensors on the racket record all swinging actions including speed, posture, energy use, and striking force, and even 3D swing trajectories can be reviewed via the app But how does the napa smart badminton racket work Here's the principle sensors embedded in the racket handle automatically collect data, which, through AI algorithms, is linked to cloud big data When connected to a smartphone, various sports records can be viewed via an app The racket's sensors document every swing—its speed, energy consumption, posture, and power—and even 3D trajectories If used with a smart wristband on the same hand, it can also monitor heart rate and blood pressure, then through various big data applications, provide personalized scientific sports recommendations For instance, some players may swing too broadly with enough power but incorrect direction, or they may exert too much force during a swing but lack strength during impact These common training issues can be effectively addressed and improved through the napa smart badminton system Besides the napa smart badminton racket, the napa intelligent system can also be applied to baseball By installing sensors in the bat handle, swings can be recorded in real-time Smart sports application scenarios The primary target audience for napa smart badminton includes players and coaches, and it is also suitable for individuals who want to train independently Beyond badminton, the napa intelligent system can be applied to other sports like baseball The underlying principle is similar, hiding sensors in the bat handle to instantly record swing trajectories, enabling hitters to more precisely determine the impact position and power point Additionally, integrating more professional training, such as weightlifting—where Hsu Shu-ching won two Olympic gold medals—has gained more national attention Traditional training predominantly uses verbal instructions, such as directing athletes to apply a certain amount of force backward or forward, but these descriptions are abstract Integrating the napa intelligent system into weightlifting, for instance embedding miniature sensors in silicone gloves, would allow precise tracking of movement trajectories through app data, making adjustments more accurate with systematic data Massive Digital Engineering is actively collaborating with various badminton venues, aiming to upgrade traditional courts to smart courts using the napa smart badminton racket Massive Digital Engineering has recently started collaborating with various badminton venues to upgrade traditional courts to smart courts using the napa smart badminton racket They also continue promoting through sports communities, sports digitalization, experiential marketing, and other diverse applications to revolutionize the current sports industry「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference

The development of AI voice assistants has become increasingly mature, but there is a lack of applications specifically for the hotel industry Therefore, the AI voice assistant developed by Aiello can complete room service, equipment introduction, check-out, and stay extension, making it a considerate AI butler The introduction of AI voice assistants into the hotel industry will help improve the experience of guests Google Assistant, Apple's Siri, and Amazon's Alexa are known as the world's three major voice assistants The applications of voice assistants are becoming growingly diverse, but they are mostly used in handheld devices, personal applications and home applications Some hotel operators are optimistic about demand in the hotel industry, and have introduced AI voice assistants into hotel industry applications, leading to the rise of smart hotels Aiello was founded in October 2018 and launched the Aiello Voice Assistant that supports Chinese and English The Aiello butler, which looks like an alarm clock, can assist with room service, equipment introduction, check-out, and stay extension after receiving voice commands from hotel guests Hotel voice assistant For example, if a hotel guest needs drinking water or newspapers, he only needs to say to the Aiello Voice Assistant "Please send a bottle of mineral water to my room" or "Please send a newspaper to my room" After the Aiello butler receives the guest's voice command, the customer service manager will directly send someone to deliver mineral water or newspaper This prevents poor service or even customer complaints because counter staff missed a call In addition to receiving instructions from guests, Aiello Voice Assistant can also combine the functions of a phone and an alarm clock, and has a built-in Bluetooth speaker, so that it can automatically play online streaming music with a single command, providing guests with a better service experience Deepening service scenarios and expanding practical applications Aiello Voice Assistant uses natural language processing NLP and semantic analysis to recognize customers' voice commands and complete multiple room services, reducing unnecessary communication time and potential human error Among them, semantic analysis is used to replace the rule-based model and the exhaustive method of linguistics It can understand at least three questions at a time, which is more in line with people's conversation habits and more adaptable to different situations, thereby deepening the service scenario Hsien-Hsien Liao, co-founder of Aiello, also believes that deepening the service scenario is the only way for consumer experience reach a certain level BERT proposed by Google also uses image analysis to replace the rule-based model and the exhaustive method of linguistics This technology has gradually become mainstream in the market The introduction of AI voice assistants into the hotel industry to provide services will effectively replace manpower to optimize and improve the quality and efficiency of room service The current version of Aiello is already online and will initially target the Chinese market The company is currently negotiating with hotel groups and system service providers in first-tier cities, and has two models monthly rental and buyout In the future, more services will be integrated to expand the business model, including calling taxis, purchasing tickets for entertainment, and booking travel packages In the future, the company will further design a new type of in-room service system specifically for hotels It transforms the in-room voice portal and the hotel's SaaS platform into a new retail channel to maximize benefits for hotel operators The current challenge is that it is difficult to find news and music content providers in Taiwan who are willing to cooperate in providing services However, as the system becomes more mature and the products continue to be promoted towards the hotel industry, more content manufacturers will be attracted to work with the company
