Abstract
During at least a portion of a user exercise movement in which an actuator velocity of an actuator is in an outward direction, an amount of torque that is requestable from a motor is increased based at least in part on the actuator velocity. The motor provides resistance to the actuator. The actuator is coupled to the motor.
Claims13
An exercise device comprising:
- a motor that provides resistance to an actuator coupled to the motor;
- and
- a torque controller configured to:
- during at least a portion of a user exercise movement in which an actuator velocity is in an outward direction, increase an amount of torque that is requestable from the motor based at least in part on the actuator velocity.
