“I think it’s good because the judgment itself is consistent, so it doesn’t seem to affect the game too much.”

The robot referee tracks the trajectory of the ball with three cameras installed in the stadium.

The decision made by the operation room device is sent to the referee with a sound signal.

The robot does not analyze at the request of the referee, but the robot analyzes itself, and the referee becomes the messenger.

First of all, the left and right width has been widened by about one ball, and the height has been slightly lowered to match high school players.

The introduction of robot referees is intended to cut off issues in high school baseball that have been controversial in the past, such as corruption in the entrance exam.

“There was some uncertainty about the existing referee’s judgment, but (robot referees) welcome it because it seems to have expanded their opportunities to show off their skills and fair opportunities.”

Judges also accept the flow of the times.

“I think it has the advantage of not being stressed (about the referee’s dissatisfaction) and being comfortable.”

It also emphasizes the advantage of “I can focus more on other judgments.”

KBO is reviewing various aspects so that the use of robot referees can be introduced in the first team.
