ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Design of cost effective brain computer interface-controlled robotic gripping system January 2018
Worked on robotic grippers to support paralytic patients and performed literature survey on existing systems.
Concluded on using NeuroSky with Arduino to obtain the raw EEG signals and coded in Arduino software to extract the attention values.
Image reconstruction in CT, MRI, and Clutter noise removal in Ultrasound December 2017
A signal processing experiment to remove the clutter noise from ultrasound images and perform the reconstruction techniques for CT, MRI, and Ultrasound.
Gained practical knowledge in image processing (reconstruction) algorithm (back projection) using MATLAB
Developed an algorithm for clutter noise rejection in Ultrasound using high pass filter with threshold.
Drowsy driving monitoring system using EEG signals November 2017
Assisted in developing a system that can be used to monitor the EEG response from hand and brain when the person is driving to indicate the drowsy or alert state of the driver.
Performed the analysis part of the system, derived the relationship between each sub-bands of brain waves and the hand recorded EEG. Concluded that hand recorded EEG can depict the exact brain wave patterns.This project has been applied for patent and is still in review.
EMG controlled upper arm exoskeleton May 2017
An exoskeleton model that mimics the user’s hand movement using EMG signals from the user.
Worked on CREO software to design the upper arm exoskeleton.
Design of haptic glove for a VR system April 2017
A glove that senses the feel of touch in a virtual reality environment.
Developed a haptic glove with Arduino, flex sensors and servo motors to detect an object and lock the position of the fingers in that respective orientation.
Design and implementation of wearable gait mobilizer device May 2015
Designed a prototype using an accelerometer sensor and Arduino to assist hemiplegic patient in movement.
Gathered the knee flexion angles of hemiplegics and normal people from several hospitals. The difference in knee flexion angles is further processed using Arduino with help of servo motors for extra movement.
Considered as one of the best projects by my university and was awarded with funding.
