  • Patent number: 11957960
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of one or more pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive one or more measurements as input, and outputting, based on the one or more measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify the resistance of the one or more pedals. The method includes receiving the one or more measurements from a sensor associated with the one or more pedals of the exercise device, determining whether the one or more measurements satisfy a trigger condition, and responsive to determining that the one or more measurements satisfy the trigger condition, transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device.

  • Patent number: 11951359
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify, independently from each other, the resistance of the pedals. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the pedals. The method includes determining, based on the measurements, a quantifiable or qualitative modification to the resistance provided by a pedal of the pedals. The resistance provided by another pedal of the pedals is not modified. The method includes transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device to cause the resistance provided by the pedal to be modified.

  • Patent number: 11458363
    Abstract: A system and method for intelligent self-calibration of target load thresholds for users of exercise machines is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by one or more processing devices, a bone geometry of a bone in a portion of a body of a user, where said portion is going to be exercised by the user performing an exercise on an exercise machine. The method also includes determining, using the bone geometry, a strain on the bone in the portion of the body of the user such that the strain triggers osteogenesis, determining a target load threshold to be added by the user to the exercise machine during the exercise to achieve the strain that triggers osteogenesis, and, while the user performs the exercise on the exercise machine, causing the target load threshold to be represented on a user interface of a computing device.
