Sanjay Nichani, Vice President for Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision at Peloton Interactive, presents the “Developing an Embedded Vision AI-powered Fitness System” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
The Guide is Peloton’s first strength-training product that runs on a physical device and also the first that uses AI technology. It turns any TV into an interactive personal training studio. Members have access to Peloton’s instructors, who lead classes that use dumbbells and body weight. The Guide uses an innovative combination of hardware, software and user interface; it is one of only a handful of consumer products in this market that use real-time embedded computer vision, and Peloton’s members love it!
In this talk, Nichani shares insights into how the computer vision technology behind the Guide was built. He focuses on data, models and processes. The AI and Computer Vision team at Peloton worked through numerous obstacles by using synthetic data, advanced algorithms and field-testing iteration to create an affordable AI-powered device that enables at-home fitness for everyone.
