How an Arduino-powered glove tracks the physics of a punch
In short: This video features a student demonstration from an MIT course on collaborative design. It showcases a specialized punching glove engineered to capture real-time biometric and physical data during training.
Developed as part of the MIT RES.3-002 course in 2017, the project utilizes Arduino microcontrollers to transform a standard piece of athletic gear into a data-collection tool. The device is designed to measure several specific metrics, including the speed of a strike, the total number of punches delivered, and the overall intensity of the impact.
