Rossignol and PIQ Sport Intelligence brings AI to skiing

The The Rossignol Hero Master prototype integrates a PIQ ROBOT artificial intelligence device embedded with the GAIA Intelligence -- the first Artificial Intelligence system that autonomously analyses sports motions. GAIA utilizes advanced algorithms to analyse movement in real-time and is able to deliver information directly to the skier on the screen and its EZ-reading gauges -- even while he or she is cruising down the mountain. The PIQ ROBOT nano-computer has a LED display that appears in front of the ski binding, allowing the skier to view all of the GAIA intelligence in real-time. The nano computer embedded ski is able to analyse and measure microscopic variations in skiing movements, such as the skier's speed, their angulation in turns, their explosivity in transitions from one edge to the other, as well as the G-Force in every turn, among many other metrics. Cédric Mangaud, CEO of PIQ Sport Intelligence said "Since the founding of PIQ, we've always had that vision of embedding PIQ directly in the skier's gear to give them the best experience possible. "With this technology, Rossignol is now the world's first manufacturer to create a connected ski.
