The Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, opening Friday in Stuttgart, will likely be the first tournament to apply Fujitsu's technology in an official capacity, as reported by the company. The system may well be put to use in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, depending upon its effectiveness.

 

The AI system applies sensors to observe a gymnast's movements and angle measurements and develop 3D renderings of the performance. The tech will be deployed in conjunction with video replay when a senior judge or a national team asks for a review of the scoring.

 

Fujitsu produced the system with the International Gymnastics Federation through a venture that began in 2017. The technology is also expected to be used for injury risk assessment and to correct a gymnast's form while in training. For this upcoming tournament, the system will support judging for the pommel horse, still rings, and the men's and women's vault. The tech will soon be applied to other six events at a later date.
