Student from Uzbek university creates smart coach for wrestlers
The Smart Kurash project enables real-time analysis of combat techniques using a regular smartphone
Nafisa Ravshanova, a student at the Uzbek State University of Physical Culture and Sports, introduced an innovative system called 'Smart Kurash – Digital Coach.' The development relies on artificial intelligence algorithms and is designed for detailed analysis of athletes' movements in martial arts.
The project is based on a unique biomechanical model, developed with the participation of Nafisa's scientific mentors. It allows for reading and evaluating a wrestler's technique directly during a training session—all that is needed is a smartphone camera or portable sensors.
The system instantly detects deviations from the correct mechanics of throws and techniques, then sends the athlete tips in the form of visual indicators or voice commands. This interactive approach enables precise adjustments to be made directly during training.
