CS-EE 480 Fall October, 2005 University of Portland School of Engineering Overview Background Accomplishments Plans Issues/Concerns Conclusions
CS-EE 480 Fall October, 2005 University of Portland School of Engineering Background Transfemoral (Above-Knee/AK) prosthesis solutions: –Single axis/polycentric –Friction lock –Hydraulic/pneumatic –Computerized The pneumatic control valve only adjusts when the user’s pace changes Project goal: To reduce fatigue by simulating a normal gait Final product functions as replacement knee, lower leg, and foot
CS-EE 480 Fall October, 2005 University of Portland School of Engineering Accomplishments EE FS 1.0 approval meeting User interface logic designed Pneumatic knee control evaluated Mechanical designs selected
CS-EE 480 Fall October, 2005 University of Portland School of Engineering Plans Complete EE FS and Plan documents Complete ME written project update Modeling/analysis of the knee and foot design Motion Capture Lab Build test mockup of leg Possible field trip to Seattle Systems in Poulsbo, WA (Seattle Power Knee)
CS-EE 480 Fall October, 2005 University of Portland School of Engineering Concerns/Issues Hurricane Wilma –Writing our own program Double Documentation –Reuse documentation Realistic preliminary testing –Test mock up Part availability –Talk with faculty and IR
CS-EE 480 Fall October, 2005 University of Portland School of Engineering Conclusions Intelligent leg prosthesis Design selection completed Moving on to the design modeling and testing phase Testing concerns
