Course details
• Force Plate Sensors to measure ground reaction forces and center of pressure for gait analysis and balance improvements
• Pressure Sensors in the robot's feet for detecting subtle shifts in weight distribution and adjusting stability accordingly
• Joint Angle Sensors for monitoring the robot's posture and detecting deviations from ideal balance positions
• Actuators (motors) for precise and responsive adjustments to maintain balance and stability during interactive exercises
• Vision System (cameras) for object detection and avoidance, enhancing environmental awareness for safe stability training
• Software algorithms for real-time balance control and adaptive assistance based on user performance
• Haptic feedback system for providing gentle guidance and corrections to improve user balance and posture during Social Robot Stability Training
• User interface for providing feedback, progress tracking, and personalized training parameters
• Human-robot interaction (HRI) modules for creating engaging and motivating training sessions
