Bio-inspired Robotics Course Project 09/2012-12/2012

Analyzed the motion of an innovative in-pipe robot using MATLAB.

Led my team to combine ideas and to make a class presentation.

Biomechatronic Systems for Humans Course Project 09/2012-12/2012

Built the dynamic model of a prosthetic arm. Experienced in Mathematica.

Developed and programmed the control system of a prosthetic arm using MATLAB and C++

Design of a Hand Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Device 10/2010-06/2012

Project of The State Key Lab of Fluid Power Transmission and Control, China, supported by the

National Science and Technology Ministry under Grant 2009BAI71B03

Designed finger elements of a hand exoskeleton device for rehabilitation.

Designed and optimized the structure of a joint of the device. It connected the finger part and the

palm part which fitted human hand better (improved by over 50%).

Mastered skills in Solidworks and AutoCAD, professional 3D/2D engineering drawing.

Conducted experiments to test the kinematic performance of the device. Designed and built an

infrared diode marker system for motion capture system OptiTrack to record small scale motion

(within human hand range) which was impossible with origin OptiTrack markers.
