Abstract

Recently, indoor sports simulator equipped with virtual reality devices, like screen golf system, are riding high. There have been many attempts to develop the indoor simulator systems which can make people enjoy exercises in various sports area. A real horseback riding could not have been popularized, because of the cost involved, difficulty to learn and its dangerousness. In this research, a robotic horseback riding platform based on parallel mechanism and virtual reality device is proposed. The proposed platform provides realistic riding feels and various levels of riding difficulty. The equipped motion capture system with a vision sensor enables riders to correct their riding posture based on expert's one. The developed horseback riding platform make it possible to enjoy a horseback riding in all weather, and also can be used for systematic horseback riding training.

최근 스크린 골프와 같이 실내에서 가상현실과 결합하여 운동을 즐길 수 있는 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 승마는 비싼 경제적 비용 외에도 승마기술의 습득이 쉽지 않고 위험한 운동으로 대중화 보급에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 병렬 로봇 기구에 기반한 승마로봇 플랫폼을 개발하고 가상현실과 결합하여 실제와 유사한 승마감을 체험할 수 있도록 하였다. 전문가의 승마자세를 기반으로 일반 승마자의 체위를 교정할 수 있도록 비전센서를 탑재하여 모션 캡처 처리를 하였으며 말의 보법에 기반하여 승마 난이도를 체험할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 승마로봇을 이용하면 전천후로 승마를 즐길 수 있으며 체계적인 승마교육에도 사용될 수 있어 승마 스포츠의 확산을 위해 널리 사용될 수 있다.
