Indore Institute Develops AI Coach to Guide Yoga Practitioners in Real Time
Researchers at the state-run Shri GS Institute of Technology and Science in Indore have developed a 'Yoga AI Coach' that can analyze 104 yoga postures, including Surya Namaskar, by detecting correct and incorrect postures in real time. Trained on 280,000 photos using AI techniques like deep learning and computer vision, the model assesses body angles, group size, gender, and facial expressions. It will be tested during a mass yoga event on International Yoga Day, with plans to offer it free if funding for hardware and maintenance is secured.
