Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a special Airshield designed to train runners to move faster without wind resistance.
A group of researchers at ETH Zurich University in Switzerland have been working on a specially designed shield to help runners improve their running speed. The Airshield—as the device is aptly named—is essentially a box made of plastic that can be pulled in front of a runner as they train. This will help them train without having to worry about wind resistance. The goal here is to help runners push themselves to new levels of performance.
It uses rear-facing LiDAR sensors to help measure how far away from the shield the runner is, and that information is then transmitted to the go-kart, which automatically speeds up or slows down to keep the person directly within the “sweet spot,” as the researchers call it. All the driver has to do is steer, essentially. The shield is also equipped with several cameras, allowing the researchers to capture footage of the athletes as they train.
