About Intelligent Bionic Robot Horse Teaching and Training
Intelligent Bionic Robot Horse is a riding simulator designed for equestrian teaching and training. The body is made of plastic, the structural frame of metal, the pedal platform of wood and the saddle of leather. A motion simulation control system drives four linear actuators to reproduce the postures of a real horse. Reins and stirrups are retained, so riders control the simulator as in equestrian sport. A coach can stop the horse with one button, and riders can stop the movement by patting it. Fitness and entertainment functions are also provided.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- By adopting the motion simulation control system, the robot horse can simulate the postures of the horse and truly restore the riding experience, which fills the gap of the intelligent auxiliary teaching equipment for equestrian sports. The problems of standardization of teaching and high operating costs have been solved, can promote equestrian sports very well. At the same time, it provides a variety of fitness and entertainment functions.

- Production Technology
- The body of the horse is made of plastic, the pedal platform is made of wood, the structural frame is made of metal and the saddle is made of leather. Motion principle: the microcomputer transmits the signal to the servo controller, which receives and processes the signal and controls the four linear actuators. The four linear actuators move respectively to simulate various movements of the bionic robot horse.
- Design Challenge
- It needs to be calibrated constantly with real horses running to achieve the accuracy of the simulation.
Bionic design should make users immediately associate with equestrian sports, and retain saddle, stirrup, rein and other elements unique to equestrian sports in the structure
Restore the riding experience while achieving the minimum footprint, structural stability and safety. At the same time, retain equestrian through rein, feet, riding to control the movement of equipment function. - Project Duration
- The project started in Beijing in October 2018 and completed in March 2020. It operates in many equestrian venues, shopping malls and gyms.
- Operation Flow
- After getting on the horse, users can follow the video guidance to teach themselves or be guided by professional coaches. It can predict the action, the coach can stop the horse with one button. Once a sudden accident happens, students can stop the horse immediately by patting it. For beginners, this product is safer, more convenient, and easy to use.
- Research
- The bionic robot horse combines the innovative technology of artificial intelligence, bionics, human engineering and other fields to collect the movement data of the real horse, convert them into electronic signals, and present them in bionic robot horse. Then, the details of the movements are constantly adjusted to get close to the feeling of the real horse. It can execute action commands stably and indiscriminately, and helps the equestrian club to improve the overall operation capacity.
- Inspiration
- The author made a summary from the equestrian work.
1. The comprehensive cost of raising horses is high; the labor cost of horse maintenance is high.
2. It takes a long time to make the marketing elaboration; the transformation rate is low.
3. The efficiency of one-to-one teaching is difficult to improve; teaching quality is difficult to be unified.
4. Repetitive exercises are tedious; beginners are at high risk of falling off the horse;poor comprehensive experience results in the loss of customers.
