  • User exercise detection method, robot and computer-readable storage medium
    Patent number: 12594461
    Abstract: A user exercise detection method applicable in a robot includes: obtaining first measurement data from at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor that is arranged at a designated body part of the user, and detecting a posture of the user relative to the robot based on the first measurement data; obtaining second measurement data from the at least one IMU sensor, and determining whether an exercise of the user corresponding to the posture is detected according to a preset threshold parameter and the second measurement data; in response to detection of the exercise, obtaining exercise data when the user performs the exercise multiple times through the at least one IMU sensor; and adjusting the threshold parameter according to the exercise data.
