ALTEN’s Post

A few days ago, I mentioned that I was working on some exciting AI projects. Today, I’d like to introduce you to one of them: Brailsports. Brailsports is a project we incubated at imec.DeepTechVentures, and I had the pleasure of coaching the team. They came to us with a bold vision: to train AI models that address one of the biggest challenges in endurance sports—how much athletes can push their bodies - without exhausting tests interrupting their training plans. In endurance sports, athletes need to push their limits every day to be fully prepared for the few competitions they have each year. Brailsports developed an innovative solution to this critical problem—one that can be adapted for other sports and training programs as well. Erika and Bart have done an incredible job transforming their vision into a tangible product, gaining the support of major teams like Lotto Dstny, and creating a business plan that is both sustainable and scalable. I’m incredibly proud of this first, remarkable step, and I wish them all the success they deserve! #AI #Startup #Innovation #DeepTech #Sport

The #NIH_SPARC Portal has been updated. Changes include easier browsing with new filters in gallery and Dataset Details, related dataset images under the image viewer, a reorganized homepage, and dynamic cycling of datasets on consortia pages. https://bit.ly/3tNVXi7 #OpenScience

Jumping - How do you evaluate an entire generation of young horses? 🐴 Take this example: 1 400 horses assessed in just one request, all thanks to EquiData Sport's AI-driven approach! 💡⚙️ 📸 Helene Palmer Ivan Palmer Eric Sanceau Nicolas Glatt #EquiDataSport #Innovation #Sport #Equestrian #IA #Interviews #Horse #AI #Algorithm

Weekend project: Finalizing my ML model for indoor #cycling #aero position evaluation! 🚴♂️💨 I've been working on this project to provide a more accurate way to assess aero positions while training indoors -- aka new metrics! By using machine learning and AI, I've created a tool that can help triathletes optimize their positions and improve their performance. The model has been built on #GoogleCloud and is designed to make indoor training more effective and transparent. Stay tuned for the release! #cycling #triathlon #machinelearning #AI #indoorcycling #aerodynamics"

Breaking news: Los Angeles to host Robot Olympics in 2028 Plans are being made for the 1st Robot Olympiad to take place in Los Angeles, after the Olympics and Paralympics, according to a source close to Silicon Valley, The first sports will include: * table tennis * 100m sprint: male robots * 100m sprint: female robots * artistic swimming: female robots * synchronised diving: teams of five * marathon * break-dancing * chess A spokesrobot for the 1st Olympiad said: "We are really excited to be staging our first event in Silicon Valley, where we will showcase a celebration of robotic skills. We have a team of AI experts working with the IOC to agree the parameters of the 1st Olympiad." The spokesrobot was unable to confirm who the main sponsors would be. #olympics #robotics #AI

Artificial Intelligence is one of THE buzz words currently, but is it always usefull? Here is a beautiful use case of #AI being really, really useful: Preparing the portrait photos for the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup was a semi-automated process in the past, which took hours before every race. SELTEC Sports was able to fully automate the process with Adobe #Photoshop and #AI to execute this tasks within minutes saving an extensive amount of hours every season! #innovation #softwaredevelopment #artificialintelligence #welovesports #seltecstyle
