Sistem semakan badminton AI Malaysia buat penampilan antarabangsa

Revealtek Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian company, has developed the world's first AI-powered instant replay system for badminton to provide video assistance on court rulings at international competitions. Known as IRS, this technology was approved by the world's badminton governing body, the Badminton World Federation (BWF), and was first used during the Singapore 2026 International Challenge tournament from August 18 to 23 to offer instant video replays of line calls.

Revealtek's Executive Officer, Nizam Mohamed, explained that the technology is similar to Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in football and tennis, but goes beyond by making decisions based on multiple calculations rather than simply replaying video footage. Reveal Lens, the AI-driven system, employs a wireless system that can be set up in just two hours, unlike more complex systems requiring extensive infrastructure and lengthy setup processes.

The success of its use in several local tournaments has attracted interest from badminton organizers and federations in Vietnam and Indonesia, with plans to expand the technology's use to the regional level. Revealtek is also discussing the possibility of making it an internationally recognized standard for all member federations to adopt as a standard practice.

The company has also developed a fully functional line calling and court ruling analytics and ruling system that can perform the main duties of a line judge during a badminton match. Revealtek plans to demonstrate this system at an upcoming tournament in Australia in October. In addition to expanding AI use and localized solutions in sports, the company aims to continue contributing to the Malaysian sports technology ecosystem.
