MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511117040 A) filed by Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Nov. 25, 2025, for 'vertical stepper exercising device.'
Inventor(s) include Mukesh Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A vertical stepper exercising device comprises a rectangular base 101 with an extendable central support column 102 and a diverging support column 102 forming a Y-structure, a horizontal plate 105 at the column's top serves as an elbow rest, a user-interface is inbuilt in a computing unit accessed by a user, a microcontroller activates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 106 to detect the user's posture and dimensions, then adjusts the column's height, as the user pedal 107s on a pedal 107 then resistance on pedal 107s controlled by an electromagnetic spring 109 via voice commands by a microphone 113, a hall magnetic sensors track pedal 107 steps, displayed on a horizontal top plate 105, which offers interactive challenges and games, a piezoelectric units converts user stress into electrical energy for a rechargeable battery, a gyroscope detects column 102 tilt and the microcontroller actuates a self-balancing actuators 103 for stability."
