Abstract
An interactive exercise system includes a mechanical support system and a display module held by the mechanical support system. A force-controlled motor is attached to the mechanical support system and a reel is driven by the force-controlled motor. The interactive exercise system also has a handle graspable by a user and includes a cord extending between the reel and the handle. Force applied through the force-controlled motor is based at least in part on detected user force input.
Claims19
An interactive exercise system comprising;
- a mechanical support system;
- a force-controlled motor attached to the mechanical support system;
- a reel driven by the force-controlled motor;
- and
- a handle graspable by a user and including a cord extending between the reel and the handle,
- wherein force applied through the force-controlled motor is based at least in part on detected user force input.
A method for providing force controlled responses to a user of an interactive exercise system, comprising the steps of:
- gathering, from a force-controlled motor and force sensor connected to the mechanical support system, user related force data;
- and
- adjusting force from the at least one force-controlled motor based at least in part on real time analysis of at least one of user position, user applied force, and user biometric signals.
