Description
We are a team that aims to innovate the smart exercise market with a new boxing training product. Our design can “throw” straight and round punches that mimic the same training methods as a real boxing personal trainer. These give the boxer practice dodging and blocking the most common punches in a real match. The straight punch would be a first within the market as current designs have not achieved it, and the arms can be interchanged to adjust to the user’s target wingspan. The device also indicates where the user should punch with LEDs, and in turn, it measures their reaction time. It features a double-ended punching bag to simulate the head that also detects and monitors punches. The body is simulated with a traditional free-standing punching bag with a chest protector strapped to the bag. Both areas on the body will only register a punch from the user once the area is hit with enough force in an allotted amount of time. The entire body can also be adjusted to appropriate height of the user. The device gives sound feedback, and it is customizable though selecting modes with the foot switches. This allows the user to not have to remove their gloves during the setup process. The user gets a summary of their session data on a screen next to the setup. All systems have been tuned to hit like a personal trainer for both safety purposes and training purposes. The system also has an easily accessible emergency stop button in the event of some sort of error.
