  1. 11. Developing a prototype using IMUs to do 24 hours measurement of knee joint mobility in children with Cerebral Palsy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Anza Ahmed; [2019]
    Keywords : IMU; Biomedical engineering; sensors; cerebral palsy; CP; BNO055; BNO080; knee joint; Arduino; electrical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a disorder of movement that is caused before, during or soon after birth. CP affects movement and co-ordination caused by lack of muscle control by the brain [1], [2]. Stiff muscles, weak muscles, tremors and seizures as well as difficulties with swallowing are examples of symptoms in children with CP. READ MORE

  3. 12. Platform development of body area network for gait symmetry analysis using IMU and UWB technology

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Anders Persson; [2018]
    Keywords : BAN; Body Area Network; gait; gait symmetry; gait symmetry analysis; IMU; inertial measurement unit; UWB; Ultra Wide-Band; sensor node; sensors; sensor fusion; electronics; hardware;

    Abstract : Having a device with the capability of measure motions from gait produced by a human being, could be of most importance in medicine and sports. Physicians or researchers could measure and analyse key features of a person's gait for the purpose of rehabilitation or science, regarding neurological disabilities. READ MORE

  4. 13. Gimbal stabilizer for cockpit bases of terrain vehicle or combat boat : A proof of concept

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och System

    Author : Joel Larsson; [2018]
    Keywords : gimbal; inertially stabilized platform;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project was to construct a 2-axis stabilized model platform, as a proof of concept, intended to use for a cockpit base of a terrain vehicle or a combat boat. The stabilization of the platform in the roll and pitch axes is realized using a feedback control system that contains a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, two DC motors driving the roll and pitch movements, and a 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) measuring the roll and pitch angles.

  5. 14. Balancing and Locomotion of a Hexapod Robot Traversing Uneven Terrain

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Jonatan Ekelund; [2018]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master thesis project has developed a method for a six-legged robot to traverse uneven terrains. From a previous project, the robot already possessed basic locomotion which had to be extensively redesigned. READ MORE

  6. 15. Smartphone Acquisition and Online Visualization of IMU and EMG Sensor Data for Assessment of Wrist Load

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Axel Hult; Daniel Munguia Chang; [2018]
    Keywords : Wrist; Work-related musculoskeletal disorders; WRMD; Inertial Measurement Unit; IMU; Electromyography; EMG; Goniometer;

    Abstract : Work-related musculoskeletal disorders constitutes a substantial burden for society, generating individual suffering and financial costs. Quantifying the musculoskeletal stress and establishing exposure-response relationships is an important step in facing this problem. READ MORE
