Adaptability, Adjustment to individual needs
RoboGym provides a huge variety of training. Different adaptors, modes, exercise styles, seat positioning, etc. allows training adjustable to each requirenment. Athletes can either train with the certified training by the German Sport University Cologne or adjust the training to their needs, developing new training regimes, adaptors or modes in cooperation with BEC and the German Sport University Cologne for exercises which are not possible with other training devices.
Direct Bio-Feedback
RoboGym shows you direct bio-feedback on your movements. To do this, a screen shows you the load within your biological structure, and the force sensor plate shows you your performance and guides you through the training.
Comfortable and time efficient training
RoboGym let you start your training in just a few seconds. A huge database with your anthropometrics, training history, last device set up and pre-defined training saves you time, but is still flexible at the same time. The database can be saved to a cloud system, so it is available everywhere.
Safe training device
RoboGym is an interactive system that stops immediately if an unsafe position is detected or if the user releases the force. With personalized security areas based on your anatomy, the robot can never get too close and dangerous situations are avoided. Since the force is controlled by the robot in relation to human anatomy, joint and muscle overload is avoided.
Digital Twin
RoboGym is the only training device that measures the forces and torques in your biological structure, since other training devices can only measure the load within the machine. We use the input from the machine as input data for the biomechanical human model, so we can calculate the load on each joint in real time.
Robogym heart and soul
Hardware
The main component of the RoboGym is a KUKA robot that can operate in three force directions and three directions for the torque. This flexibility of movement allows the user to operate in a wide range of dimensions.
Mounted on the robot arm is a sensor, which is the interface between the robot and the user. The force and torque sensors measure the activity of the user in real time and deliver the data to the analysis system.
Furthermore, the multi-training seat offers users a variety of ways of positioning their bodies for different exercises. Next to the seat are two handles with an activator button to make the robot move for the exercises.
A 23-inch touch panel is mounted on a flexible arm as an interface to operate the robot and view the results.
In addition, for different training modes, different hardware adapters can be attached to the robot with a small plug. The robot can detect which adapter is plugged in, so the pre-set training is already selected.
Software
The robot software is divided into different areas of robot control, data collection from the user, interpretation of the data and display of the analysis results.
That being said, the main focus of software development is user safety. This is implemented in the operation of the robot, as well as in the analysis results to offer the user safe strength training.
User Interface
The graphical interface developed by Koordinauten GmbH has two main functions: It controls the robot and guides the user through the workout. To control the robot, the trainer can select parameters for the workout, such as which exercise, the number of repetitions, the number of sets, etc.
On the other hand, the interface shows the user the personal data in his profile, his training performance and also documents his training history.

Data Analysis
In addition to this, the RoboGym has another interface to interact with the user. The plate mounted on the robot has LEDs to show which adapter is plugged in, the position on the individual movement curve and force. During the training, it also shows how much time remains before the break.
Are you ready for RoboGym?
RoboGym makes your life easy. Thanks to its sturdy construction, reliability and size, which fits through any door, only two simple things are needed to implement the system: a floor with high load capacity and a high-voltage socket.
The system itself is self-explanatory, so no lengthy training is required.
