Hand Rehabilitation devices The advancement of technology has brought about numerous devices aimed at the rehabilitation of fine motor skills. One such device is the Phantom Premium 1.0 which is a commercially available haptic device which allows you to create a virtual haptic environment. Youn. K et al. used this […]
Hand-writing Rehabilitation in the Haptic Virtual Environment is the main driver behind our claim that this senior design project has a medical application. This paper has advantages over the period art because it is a Haptic device, not a position control device. That is, the user is helped through the […]
The script has been added with the ability to do the following 1. generate geometry boundary whose center is x=3, y=3 (the geometry is currently set to circle) 2. a circle of radius = 10 is plotted on a graph 3. the location of the pen is plotted on top […]

To better understand the material properties of a potential cable choice, 5 samples of 50 pound weight nylon fishing line were loaded into the mechanical engineering lab’s Instron 5569A (Kindly donated by Instron, thanks guys!!). The 5 samples were subjected to an increasing load of 100 Newtons per minute until failure. […]
To test the current sensor an arduino, a multi-meter and a current source was used. To calibrate, the offset and the gain was first configured. With no current on the sense lines, the Vref was adjusted to read about 2.5V (actual valued used was 2.52V) on the sensor output line. A known […]
Patent number EP2251767-A1 is another interesting find in our patent search. It has the potential to be an extremely affordable system since it only uses one motor. This makes it viable as a game control for a tennis simulation or rowing simulation, for example. The article kept bringing up the load […]
