If you follow tech events like CES and IFA and actively scroll through crowdfunding platforms, you would know that tennis robots are the most sought-after sporting gear in recent times. While many manufacturers operate in this space, very few boast the technical prowess of Acemate, which its makers tout as the first-ever AI-powered tennis robot designed to simulate real human rallies.
Hot on the heels of its successful debut, the company has announced a Prime Day discount on the Acemate Tennis Robot S10, dropping the price from $2,499 to $1,899 for a limited window from June 23 through June 30. The deal is available directly through Acemate’s official website, with regional pricing set at £1,899 in the UK, €1,899 in Europe, CAD$2,499 in Canada, and AUD$2,899 in Australia.
Acemate first introduced the robot at IFA 2025 in Berlin, where it received mixed to positive responses. Tom’s Guide testified, “It actually teaches you a thing or two to improve your technique.” CNET was also impressed with the AI robot tennis and billed it as “far from an ordinary ball machine,” bearing witness to how it “moved surprisingly fast and impressively accurate” when it came to reading the balls coming off the reporter’s racket.
This is possible courtesy of built-in ball net and advanced 4k cameras that help the robot move across the surface on four Mecanum wheels at up to 5 m/s, and return it at speeds up to 70 mph. At the time, it was available for $2,500. This Prime Day deal brings it below that launch price for the first time.
Contrary to traditional robots that feed balls to the player from a fixed position, Acemate S10 simulates the action and timing of a real hitting partner. It responds within 0.15 seconds, adjusts to shot placement, and keeps rallies continuous. As per the company’s press release sent to Homecrux, “The built-in Drill System covers NTRP levels 1.0 to 5.0 with more than 40 preset training templates spanning forehand, backhand, volley, overhead, and more.”
Players can also build custom drills by adjusting feed interval, ball height, direction, speed, spin, and ball count across 20 programmable target zones. For longer sessions, the extra-large ball hopper holds up to 80 balls, and the 6,700mAh battery runs up to three hours of continuous play.
On the coaching side, the Acemate Tennis Robot S10 tracks each shot with centimeter-level accuracy and captures data on ball speed, spin rate, net clearance, and placement in real time. After each session, the data is processed into a performance report with AI-generated analysis highlighting areas for improvement.
The AI robot comes with a companion app (available on iOS and Android) that turns the numbers into heat maps, shot distribution charts, match statistics, and more. Not to mention, the Apple Watch integration, which adds real-time biometric data and instant video replay, allowing players to review technique on the spot. The promotion runs through July 6 on the Acemate official website.
Acemate is offering an extra $50 off for the Prime Day Week. Apply Code ACEMATE001 to secure the deal.
