A robot that becomes a virtual personal trainer <\/strong>: it's not science fiction, but Gymnasio <\/a>, a device that uses artificial intelligence to monitor the positions of the human body during training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The startup behind the project has been funded by three Alumni of Politecnico di Milano<\/strong> and two Alumni of Politecnico di Torino, and is among the winners of Switch2Product<\/strong>, the program that champions innovative solutions on the market, new technologies and new business ideas and is supported by Politecnico and from Polihub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team met in Alta Scuola Politecnica, during the entrepreneurial program 'Pioneer' of the School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation (SEI) of Turin in a project in collaboration with Sprint Reply and supervised by Prof. Barbara Caputo (PoliTo), and by Prof. Cesare Alippi (PoliMi).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objective is twofold<\/strong>: to make safe and personalized training accessible to as many people as possible and to revolutionize the home fitness market, which has had a surge during the pandemic <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW DOES GYMNASIO WORKS?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gymnasio is able, thanks to the 3D camera and artificial intelligence algorithms <\/strong>, to correct movements and posture, manage personal records, track progress and give precise feedback during training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from Pepper <\/strong>, the first version of the device with the appearance of a humanoid robot, the Gymnasio team then modified the device with more compact and accessible forms <\/strong>, ideal for training at home in times of pandemics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe pandemic played a fundamental role. We will not be able to replace the empathy of a human: we want to give an alternative that can be purchased by everyone and that can be used at home. \" <\/em> declares to TG1 <\/a> Daniele Gusmini <\/strong>, Alumnus of Automation Engineering and Control Engineering and CEO and co-founder of the start up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
