Resilient artificial intelligence (Resilient AI) is relevant in many areas where technology needs to adapt quickly to changing and unexpected conditions, such as in the medical, environmental, security, and agrifood sectors. In the case study involving the therapeutic rehabilitation of patients with motor problems, the Resilient AI system is crucial to ensure that systems can effectively respond to changes, maintain high performance, cope with uncertainties and complex variables, and enable the dynamic monitoring and adaptation of therapy in real time. The proposed system integrates advanced technologies, such as computer vision and deep learning models, focusing on non-invasive solutions for monitoring and adapting rehabilitation therapies. The system combines the Microsoft Kinect v3 sensor with MoveNet Thunder – SinglePose, a state-of-the-art deep-learning model for human pose estimation. Kinect’s 3D skeletal tracking and MoveNet’s high-precision 2D keypoint detection together improve the accuracy and reliability of postural analysis. The main objective is to develop an intelligent system that captures and analyzes a patient’s movements in real time using Motion Capture techniques and artificial intelligence (AI) models to improve the effectiveness of therapies. Computer vision tracks human movement, identifying crucial biomechanical parameters and improving the quality of rehabilitation.
