Problem Statement

Boxing, a sport that has existed since Antiquity, celebrated by cultures across the globe for thousands of years. However, there is a problem. Training for Boxing has not modernized and is not technologically integrated.

Goal

To give the user a safe, immersive boxing experience with robust evaluation. This will be done through an apparatus that will allow users to engage in a more realistic form of boxing that is affordable and health oriented.

The Team

Team Manager

Jason Arms

Lead on punch input, which involves prototyping force sensitive resistors and calibration using MATLAB to ensure correct force readings for the system.

PCB Lead

Aadish Joshi

Lead on cue and feedback susbsytem, making the system communicate with the user to cue punches and give immediate feedback.

Budget Lead

Randall Driscoll

Lead on software and communications so that the user can get detailed feedback on their performance on a ATmega328P using AVR-C.

Mechanical Lead

Arthur Wang

Lead on counterpunch, a system that will strike back at the user to engage defensive training while communicating hits to the system.

System Specifications
