SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATING MEASUREMENTS CAPTURED DURING A GOLF SWING
The present embodiments provide systems and methods for aggregating measurements captured by different technologies during a golf swing. By capturing measurements using different technologies, more accurate measurements may be provided to a user by selecting from the measurements, offsetting measurements based on the technologies used, and aligning measurements between devices. Further, by aggregating measurements received from different devices, additional features and functionality may be provided to the user that is absent from any one device used alone. Additionally, by storing the aggregated measurements, users, club fitters and instructors may access and leverage larger databases of measurements to better understand the user's golf swing and to provide better recommendations and instruction to the user.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING BALANCE AND FORM DURING BODY MOVEMENT
The disclosure relates to a system for evaluating movement of a body of a user. The system may include a video display, one or more digital cameras, and a processor. The processor may control the one or more cameras to generate images of at least the part of the body over a period of time. The processor may estimate a position of a plurality of joints of the body. The processor may receive a selection of a tracked pose, and determine, from the plurality of joints, a set of joints associated with the tracked pose. The processor may generate at least one joint vector connecting joints in the set of joints, and assign, based on changes in the joint vector over the period of time, a form score to a performance of the tracked pose. The processor may then generate a user interface that depicts the form score.
System and Method for Quantification of Exercise and Physical Therapy
A system for quantification of exercise and physical therapy includes an anchoring module and an electronics module. The anchoring module is removably attached to an object (e.g., a flexible resistive band) or equipped with a clamping mechanism for removably securing the object. The anchoring module also includes an anchoring-module coupling fixture. At least one of the modules includes a sensor (e.g., a force sensor) configured to generate a signal representative of a user's performance during exercise or physical therapy; a processor configured to receive signals from the force sensor; a computer storage medium storing software code and in communication with the processor, wherein the software code includes instruction for processing the signals from the force sensor to quantify the performance; and at least one electronics-module coupling fixture configured to secure the electronics module to the anchoring module coupling fixture.
Golf swing analyzer system
A golf swing analyzer system for analyzing a golfer's golf swing. An inertial measurement unit (IMU) may be used to capture data regarding the swing. The IMU may be oriented along a hosel-axis and a face-axis to reduce the complexity of calculations to determine the path of the swing. Two IMUs may be used to permit correction of captured data, different orientations of the IMUs to increase accuracy of captured data, and a doubling of the captured data. The IMU may include a magnetometer that cooperates with a magnet that is adapted to indicate the time at or near impact of the head of the golf club with the golf ball. An LED system provides visual information to a user regarding the swing while the swing is being made.
Information processing device, sensor device, information processing system, and storage medium
An information processing system includes processing circuitry that is configured to receive input data from a shock sensor which outputs data based on a shock on the shock sensor, and identify a target segment of time-series data that is output from a motion sensor that senses a motion of an object. The target segment includes a pre-shock portion that occurs before the shock event and a post-shock portion that occurs after the shock event, the shock event is recognized based on the data from the shock sensor.
MULTIMODAL HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION SYSTEM FOR COMPENSATION MOVEMENT OF HEMIPLEGIC UPPER LIMB
A multimodal human-robot interaction system for compensation movement of a hemiplegic upper limb includes a compensation monitoring module, a compensation evaluation module and a compensation reducing module. The compensation reducing module includes a robot and a virtual reality system. The robot assists the hemiplegic upper limb in performing rehabilitation training, and adjusts a training action according to a compensation monitoring result and evaluation of compensation to realize passive reducing of compensation movement of the hemiplegic upper limb. The compensation monitoring module acquires data during a rehabilitation therapy. The compensation evaluation module processes and analyzes comprehensive data of the hemiplegic upper limb to obtain the evaluation of compensation. The virtual reality system displays a rehabilitation training scene, a real-time movement posture of the hemiplegic upper limb and the evaluation of compensation and instructs a patient to reduce the compensation movement using visual display and voice feedback.
Athletic training system and method
An athletic training system (200) has a data recording system (202) and a data engine (204). The data recording system (202) is configured to record an athletic competition event. The event may have a first team of players competing against a second team of players. The data engine (204) is configured to receive data associated with the recorded athletic competition event. The data engine (204) processes the data and displays the data as a replay of the event in animated form.
Interactive exercise machine support and mounting system
An interactive exercise system includes a mechanical support system and a display module held by the mechanical support system. At least one force-controlled component is engageable by a user and connected to the mechanical support system, with the force-controlled component configure to reduce force when applied user force is great enough to cause tip-over or unwanted movement of the mechanical support system. The force-controlled component can be graspable by a user and allows for a range of exercise types and programs.
Robotic training apparatus
A robotic training apparatus for martial arts and combat sports that is of a dimension like a punching bag and can be hung or mounted on a floor. The apparatus includes a frame, an upper revolving member and a lower revolving member mounted to the frame, wherein the two members can revolve independently of each other along a vertical axis. A pair of robotic arms coupe to the upper revolving member can be actuated to resemble a punching action. A pair of robotic legs coupled to the lower revolving member can be actuated to resemble a kicking action. Both the pair of robotic arms and the pair of robotic legs horizontally extends from the upper revolving member and the lower revolving member respectively.
