"Buddy" the Workout Helper

Buddy the Workout Helper
  • Date Completed: December 2016
  • Skills: Engineering, Design, Arduino
  • Why: I took a class called ENGR96C: The Internet of Things -- which gave us a basic introduction to the ever-evolving idea of IoT.
  • Demonstration:  Buddy's
  • Description:  ENGR96C was a 2 unit class that spanned my first quarter at UCLA (10 weeks). Our group wanted to think of a real-world problem that could be solved by an Arduino; which turned out to be correcting the form of a person who is working out. We designed our system with a 9 Degrees of Freedom (9DOF) device with AI capabilities that can distinguish when a person is using correct form while exercising. The system first collects data, takes an input from the user while doing the exercise, takes the new input and runs it through the neural network which attempts to identify the motion.
