Virtual assistant robot for physical training exercises supervision

This document presents the design of a virtual robotic system for the supervision of physical training exercises, to be carried out in a closed environment, which only requires a computer equipment with a web camera. To do this, deep learning algorithms such as convolutional networks and short- and long-term memory networks are used to recognize voice commands and the user’s video actions. A predefined dialogue template is used to guide a user’s training cycle based on the execution of the exercises: push-ups, abdominal, jump or squat. The contribution of the work focuses on the integration of deep learning techniques to design and personalize virtual robotic assistants for everyday task. The results show a high level of accuracy by the virtual robot both in understanding the audio and in predicting the exercise to be performed, with a final accuracy value of 97.75% and 100%, respectively.
