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, wherein the motor is powered by a power supply;
- and
- a torque controller configured to:
- determine a maximal boost weight based at least in part on an actuator velocity;
- and
- 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 beyond what is supplied by the power supply based at least in part on the maximal boost weight.
