Design Projects

o9/2017 to 5/2018 University of Hartford West Hartford, CT

oSenior Design Project: Designed and built a video game system that is controlled solely by head and upper trunk movements with the use of a headband as the controller. The game integrates with an upper body support system for fun and beneficial at-home rehabilitation of children with lower functioning forms of Cerebral Palsy. A tilt sensor on the head is used for control of the games and a tilt sensor on the upper trunk is used for postural control. It only allows the user to play while they remain in correct upright posture. Multiple multi-level games were created for the users to play using the system.

o1/2017 to 5/2017 University of Hartford West Hartford, CT

oSophomore Design Project: A guide cane with ultrasound sensors on either side was developed to improve the level of awareness that a visually impaired person has with their immediate surroundings and local area, to alert them of nearby obstacles and to allow for close range navigation. The sensors communicated with an Arduino in the upper housing on the cane, which then emitted different tones through a small speaker depending on the distance that the guide cane was from an object.
