Development of Artificial Intelligence Golf Training Simulator

Development of Artificial Intelligence Golf Training Simulator: Integration of Inertial Sensing Device and Musculoskeletal Simulation Model for Movement Feedback System

The golf simulator can accurately predict the flight trajectory and landing point of the ball using high-speed moving object measurement technology, giving the user the impression that they are playing on a real golf course.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Musculoskeletal Model
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: Golf simulator device

Detailed Description

The golf simulator can accurately predict the flight trajectory and landing point of the ball using high-speed moving object measurement technology, giving the user the impression that they are playing on a real golf course. This project will integrate golf simulators, swing analysis, and musculoskeletal simulation systems; digitize human movements; calculate biomechanical parameters; and assist beginners in swing learning or professional golfer training.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Kinematics data_range of motion	A motion capture system is used to measure the joint kinematics. This data is used to calculate the range of motion of each joint of the body (unit: degree) during the golf swing motion.	6 months
Kinematics data_displacement of center of mass	A motion capture system is used to measure the joint kinematics. This data is used to calculate the displacement of the center of mass in space (unit: cm) during the golf swing motion.	6 months
Kinetic data_mean velocity	The participants stand on the force platform. The data from the force platform is used to calculate the mean velocity of center of pressure (unit: cm/s): total excursion/total time during the golf swing motion.	6 months
Kinetic data_mean distance	The participants stand on the force platform. The data from the force platform is used to calculate the mean distance of center of pressure (unit: cm): how far the sway from the center during the golf swing motion.	6 months
Kinetic data_mean frequency	The participants stand on the force platform. The data from the force platform is used to calculate the mean frequency of center of pressure (unit: Hz): how vibrating of the sway during the golf swing motion.	6 months
Kinetic data_95% confidence ellipse area	The participants stand on the force platform. The data from the force platform is used to calculate 95% confidence ellipse area of center of pressure (unit: cm^2): how big of the sway during the golf swing motion.	6 months
Kinematics data by inertial measurement units_linear acceleration	Inertial measurement units are placed on each body segment and are used to calculate the linear acceleration (m/s²) of each body part during the golf swing motion.	6 months
Kinematics data by inertial measurement units_angular velocity	Inertial measurement units are placed on each body segment and are used to calculate the angular velocity (rad/s) of each body part during the golf swing motion.	6 months
