Self-righting robotic training dummies for sports
MVP Robotics makes mobile robotic training systems for sports and tactical use. Its MVP series, including the MVP|SPRINT, uses self-righting, padded dummies that mimic player speed for football drills and are remotely controlled to allow safe, contact-free practice while tracking performance data. It also builds HEKTR, a semi-autonomous, all-terrain robotic target for live-fire military and law-enforcement training that mimics human motion, detects gunfire, and streams data for after-action reviews. The company differentiates itself with self-righting hardware, real-time data feedback, and broad adoption across schools, colleges, NFL teams, and federal contracting, aiming to extend its training technology from sports into tactical environments to improve safety and performance.
