AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention introduces a new way of playing hockey by using an electromechanical robot controlled by a computer that displays video of a real hockey game on a screen. The robot can move around the playing area, shooting at different angles and speeds to provide a close to realistic simulation. Two rangefinders and a hydroscopic unit help accurately identify the robot's position on the field. This invention allows for a more immersive experience for people who play or watch hockey.

Problems solved by technology

However, in general, such combination of playing area with conventional puck hitting training aids may suffer from various deficiencies.
For instance, they are not suitable for providing a realistic training system that accommodates a goalie and simulates a plurality of shooters that shoot puck from different positions at different angles and different speed.
Also, such conventional systems are not suitable for entertainment purposes providing close to real situation on a playing area.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]The hockey game simulator of the present invention can be configured as depicted in FIG. 1. Said simulator comprises the playing area (hockey rink) 1 covered by ice or a plastic ice simulator—a low friction hockey shooting surface—surrounded by boards 2, hockey gate 3 equipped with goal sensors 4, frontal screen 5, backside screen 6 mounted on board 2 opposite gate 3 and electromechanical Hockey Partner-Robot 7 that is controlled by remote PC 9 via a wireless line 11 comprising a radio transmitter 10 connected to said PC, wherein position said Hockey Partner-Robot on the playing area is determined by means of two radio rangefinders 8 placed on opposite edges of said backside screen 5. Said Hockey Partner-Robot 7, which is depicted in details on FIG. 2, simulates attacking hockey player shooting puck at different angles with different speed; wherein shooting is corresponded with situation displayed on screens 5 and 6. Said Hockey Partner-Robot comprises movable platform 21 equi...
