Title:
MARTIAL ARTS PHYSICAL INTERACTION DEVICE AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000041771
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A physical interaction device includes a controller (110) and one or more arms (102), such as a first arm (102) and a second arm (101). The first arm (102) is movably connected with a first support (104). The first arm includes a first flexible portion sized to physically interact with a first limb portion of a user of the device. The second arm (101) is movably connected with a second support (105). The second arm (101) includes a second flexible portion sized to physically interact with the first limb portion of the user and/or a second limb portion of the user. The controller (110) is linkable with the first arm (102), the second arm (101) and the pitch adjuster (402). The controller (110) is configured to adjust the angle of the first arm (102) and the second arm (101). The controller (110) is configured to selectively cause a first movement of the first flexible portion of the first arm (102). The controller (110) is configured to selectively cause a second movement of the second flexible portion of the second arm (101). The first movement of the first flexible portion of the first arm (102) serves to contact the first flexible portion of the first arm (102) with the user to physically imitate a first human strike toward the user. The second movement of the second flexible portion of the second arm (101) serves to contact the second flexible portion of the second arm (101) with the user to physically imitate a second human strike toward the user.
