## What is Amicus Prime?

The new AMICUS PRIME sets out to redefine the possibilities of a table tennis robot and will excite fans all over the world. The innovative PRIME is controlled wirelessly via Bluetooth technology from the AMICUS App running on iPhone. AMICUS app software offers a multitude of interactive content, improved and added to with regular updates. Creating exercises, changing spin, speed, placement and trajectory has never been easier. Pre-saved exercises created by professional players and coaches are playable at the press of a button with in-app videos by stars such as Tiago Apolonia just waiting to show the correct execution. Get acquainted with our AMICUS flagship model and discover the new possibilities of the most tireless, and always ready, training partner you will find.

Special features of AMICUS PRIME:

- Control the intensity of the exercise by selecting ball frequency from 5 to 120 balls per minute.
- Vary spin, speed, trajectory, and placement from ball to ball. Control each function through this app.
- Use this mobile application to connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to your AMICUS PRIME robot.
- Keep the software and firmware up to date with help of the app. App notifies you when new update is available.
- Left-Right (mirror) switch for reversing drills to match the dominant hand of the user so forehand/backhand placements are correct. Also can instantly provide a reversed version of any asymmetrical exercise without creating a new exercise.
- Test individual balls within an exercise with the Sample function.
- Individual Frequency Control (IFC) can customize the time interval between any two consecutive balls, especially useful when there is a large difference in ball speed; for example, a short, slow backspin serve followed by several fast, long topspin balls.
- Incorporate interval training into your table tennis practice sessions with the Cycle function.
- Pre-programmed with 21 exercises created by German Butterfly Coach Richard Prause, which can be modified or replaced. Restore these pre-programmed exercises with the Restore Factory Exercises function.
- Watch the integrated demonstration videos to learn how to properly perform each pre-programmed exercise.
- Save virtually unlimited exercises—limited only by available memory of the device used to run the app.
- Sequence together multiple exercises so they run automatically one after the other, or randomly.
- Use the key-fob-like remote control (small, lightweight and easy to fit in pocket) to start and stop ball delivery and change ball frequency.

### 5/5 — Great training tool

*2026-01-06, version 1.2.0*

This robot is a great training tool, which I can customize the programs for my routine exercises easily through the iPad that came with the package. I love the features of random balls that make me feel closer to actual games. I highly recommend this robot for those who want to practice at your comfortable place at any time.

### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2025-10-01, version 1.2.0*

Connects really easily and helps me practice. I can clearly see how much I’ve improved!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2025-09-26, version 1.2.0*

Love this app! It’s super user-friendly and makes practice a lot more fun.

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2025-09-21, version 1.2.0*

App is simple in nature and the UI is easy to navigate

### 5/5 — The best robot with the app

*2025-09-20, version 1.2.0*

The robot is essential for any one wishing to practice on demand rather than wait for a partner. What is awesome with this one is you can program the spin, trajectory, spacing between serves, etc etc. It takes a bit of time to learn all the power, but once you learn the power, the app will help you unleash it. The robot is not cheap but quality in this is related to the price. We have had some other table tennis bots before but this one is the real best one in the market today. While we haven’t yet tried it but the app works on iPad too, which would enable for a bit more complex programs to be saved and done depending on variety needed at particular time.

### 5/5 — Great robot, easy to use app

*2025-09-20, version 1.2.0*

Amicus is one of the top robots. And the app makes it convenient to plan and do the drills. App interface is easy to use.

### 5/5 — Solid Training Tool!

*2025-09-19, version 1.2.0*

This app is a great way to train if you don’t live near a club. It’s pretty simple to use once you get it all set up. I especially like the sample button — it makes it easy to dial in each ball without having to run through the entire drill every time. Really helps fine-tune practice and makes training much more effective.

### 5/5 — Very accurate placement

*2025-08-31, version 1.2.0*

Premade drills are really good. Honestly a good substitute for a practice partner. Great for footwork and reps!

### 5/5 — Great training partner

*2025-08-31, version 1.2.0*

Great tool for solo practice and building basic strokes

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-08-29, version 1.2.0*

Very easy to use, love it.
