An interactive exercise system with apparatus and methods to optimize muscle strength for rehabilitation, to improve or maintain fitness, and to enhance the performance of athletes. The system uses an electronically controlled linear actuator to generate resistance against the muscular force exerted by the user. The system includes sensors configured to detect acceleration, speed, velocity, position, direction of movement, duration, and the force applied by the user. A control system preferably continuously monitors the sensors, and instantaneously adjusts the adaptive actuator. This provides a proportional counterforce to the user force throughout the entire range-of-motion. A display panel allows the user to interact with the system in real-time. The objective of the user is to synchronize the exercise performance with a selected target goal, by correlating the user's movement relative to a position on a display panel.

Disclosed is a self-driving-golf-cart driving path central controlling device comprising a self-driving-golf-cart driving path determining module, a self-driving-golf-cart driving path excluding module and a central controlling module, the self-driving-golf-cart driving path central controlling device determines, from a plurality of self-driving-golf-cart driving paths, an individual self-driving-golf-cart driving path for each self-driving-golf-cart and controls each self-driving-golf-cart to drive, in a self-driving manner, on the individual self-driving-golf-cart driving path which is determined for said each self-driving golf-cart.

A mobile device and system which simulates human motion. The device includes a base with a drive system for providing motion to the device. A receiver is provided which controls the drive system the receiver receives wireless control signals. Pads and a self-stabilizing component are provided on the device. The device accurately mimics the unpredictable motion of a human motion to provide a safer alternative to live interaction to increase participant safety and decrease the incidence of injuries during practice or drill sessions. The system includes at least one mobile device. The mobile device includes: a base having a drive system for providing motion to the device; a receiver which controls the drive system the receiver receives wireless control signals; and self-stabilizing component provided on the device. The system also includes a transmitter for transmitting the control signals to the receiver.

Further, the system may include a plurality of transceivers communicatively coupled with the plurality of sensors. Further, the system may include a plurality of local processing devices communicatively coupled to each of the plurality of sensors and the plurality of transceivers. Further, the system may include a server computer. The server computer may include a server communication device configured for communicating with the at least one transceiver. Further, the server computer may include a server processing device communicatively coupled with the server communication device. Further, the server processing device may be configured for analyzing the sensor data and generating at least one insight. Further, the server computer may include a server storage device communicatively coupled to the server processing device.

An electronically powered, light emitting, portable mat with built in storage container is provided. The light is configured to provide illumination from the ground as well as a visual timing signal for exercise routines and enhanced experiences. The built in storage area also allows for the mat to be used as a backpack which can be unrolled into a floor mat. The light up mat may be particularly useful for exercising or camping in dark areas, as well as for mood lightning outdoors to illuminate the surrounding area.

A method to automatically calibrate a load cell without the need to remove the loading on the load cell. This method takes advantage of the fact that weight stack strength equipment uses generally known discrete weight increments, and any signal drift in the load cell can be automatically recalibrated by offsetting the load cell signal to accurately reflect the expected discrete weight increments without the need for unloading the load cell and without the need for a manual recalibration of the load cells.

A basketball training system includes a ball delivery system in which a basketball is delivered to a ball ready holder located in front of a ball launch mechanism. A launch arm is grabbed and pulled backward against a spring force, and then is released to pivot forward and strike the basketball from the ball ready holder.

A golf hole illumination device is provided which when positioned in an as used position in the bottom of a cup descending below the golf hole, will illuminate the golf hole with light emitters. The light emitters can be positioned within the material forming the transparent body which forms a barrier to protect them from moisture and dirt.
