How do you teach a robot to move like a horse?

You capture the horse first. Then you rebuild it, and teach it to listen.

Three layers

Built on 10+ years of LUT robotics research

Motion capture
We capture and process the motion dynamics of real horses: walk, trot, canter and the take-off before a fence.
Robotic replication
A robotic platform reproduces that motion under the rider. Clone any real horse.
Sensing and machine learning
Sensors and machine learning read subtle rider aids, seat, leg and rein, and respond in real time.

PlusA game layer: ride an Olympic dressage arena or a Grand Prix course, with scores, progress and friends. Train or play.

Clone any real horse.

Every horse whose motion we capture becomes a digital twin. Ride a champion’s dressage horse, or your own while it rests.

The research

Not a mechanical bull with a saddle

Riding-simulator research has run for more than ten years at LUT University’s Laboratory of Intelligent Machines. Ridable owns all the IPR, and the newest patent is pending.
