PROJECTS

University of Alberta

  1. Augmented Cane

    It is a cane developed by the students in Stanford University which use multimodal sensing and intuitive steering assistance to improve navigation and mobility for people with impaired vision.

  2. Prosthetic Hand

    The project proposal was to develop a prosthetic hand that would be accessible with an affordable implantation cost. Functional with an EMG-controlled system, and scalable to customize EMG processing to each user.

  3. Motion Sensor Glove

    The glove attached to 16 IMUs can get the motion and position of the user’s hand.

  4. Volunteering in some tests

    I participated in some other projects about EEG system and motion capture as a volunteer for tests.
