Abstract :
In order to evaluate control strategies for smart exercise systems, an electrically actuated exercise environment is developed. Specifically, a bicep/tricep exercise machine is augmented with a high torque/low speed DC motor for active resistance generation. A QNX based PC platform running the QMotor software serves as the control implementation environment. Details of the various sensors and power electronics are included.
