Challenges for Strength Training
Strength training requires precise, guided movements with a high level of exertion as part of safe, efficient training. These requirements apply to different training purposes, such as rehabilitation, preventing muscular strength loss or building muscles for high-performance sports. Within these fields of application, the needs for the musculoskeletal system of the athletes differ greatly. Therefore, continuous monitoring and analysis of strength training and individualized setup is required to prevent training-induced injuries and for maximum effectiveness.
The RoboGym Solution
The robot training system uses sensors to capture the athlete’s movement in real-time. Based on a biomechanical musculoskeletal model, RoboGym identifies whether the athlete is working out in the most efficient and ergonomic motion range. The direct bio-feedback helps you avoid injuries to your joints. All training data are fed into your own digital twin in the cloud, and so they are available for your individual use, anytime and anywhere. The high level of adaptability and adjustability of the robot offers an immense variety of training possibilities, which makes your training more comfortable and time efficient. The system is developed with highest focus on safe human-robot interaction.

tailored training programs for every stage of life
High-Performance Sport
RoboGym offers you professional and efficient neuromuscular training, with precise control over high-intensity stimulation of the specific muscles you want to train. You can keep track of your performance and review all your relevant training data. You set your goals, and RoboGym accompanies you on the path to achieving your success.
Aging Society
RoboGym offers you comfortable, safe neuromuscular training. An adaptive load based on current strength fulfills the requirements of an aging society. This kind of strength training helps you avoid injuries and prevent loss of muscle strength. As a result, it prevents or delays degenerative diseases. RoboGym keeps you fit and keeps you safe.
Rehabilitation
RoboGym offers you controlled, safe training for neuromuscular rehabilitation. The adaptive training system is developed for the entire rehabilitation process, starting with post-operative training (safe early surgery strength training) and offers each patient individual training, based on their current muscular abilities. RoboGym provides you a safe, adaptive device for use throughout your rehabilitation phases.
Individualized strength Training
The RoboGym Mission
RoboGym is the beginning of a new generation of training systems that offer personalized strength training for any physical strength condition. The system uses sensor data combined with models of the musculoskeletal system to estimate the actual joint-specific load and movement of the athlete in real time, which makes it possible to train, even with physical limitations.
By using robotics in combination with the right sensors and a biomechanical model, RoboGym will be able to monitor for the first time the load on the athlete’s passive structures (e.g. cartilage, ligaments and bones), which in neuromuscular training represents an important innovation.
