Open projects about the Robotrainers
The Robotrainer concept consists of different exercise machines that uses electric motors instead of weights stacks to apply the load.
If you find these machines (or exercise science in general) interesting, then contact the Training Technology Lab and together we can come up with new projects to explore.
Robotrainer Light
The maximal force output is around 300 N, and a top speed of 1.6 m/s. This makes it most suited for rehabilitative exercise but not heavy strength training.
Robotrainer Gravity
it has been implemented into a consumer available lift from Guldmann and has a lift capacity around 150 kg because of high internal gearing. However, this gearing also means that the top speed is only 0.15 m/s. This makes it suitable for slow-pace rehab exercise, but not for use with healthy people.
Robotrainer Classic
Uses a ~1kW motor from an ‘Ellert’. It has a max force of ~60kg.
