• Project Description:
• MovableBag+ is an alternative reality robot with the ability to resist hits and move. It utilizes encounter-type haptic feedback technology to provide boxers with simultaneous training in punching and footwork. It assists in replacing some of the frequent movements and assisting in hitting training that coaches would normally require during training, thereby reducing the coach's burden. By integrating VR visual feedback, it provides a multi-sensory feedback mobile boxing training system.: https://xrc.or.jp/award2023/
