Project Review P10011 - Motion Tracking Human Interface Joe Piehler – Project Manager, ISE Alex Frechette – Manufacturing Lead, ME Dan Shields – Lead Engineer, ME
2
Background Customer Nazareth Physical Therapy Clinic Measure motion of patient System to wear out of the lab Joint Project / Continuing Project Sensors group
3
Project Description Human Interface Enclose Sensors Attach to the body Key high level Customer needs Sanitary Portable Comfortable Durable Easy to Use
4
Concept Description – Hard Enclosure 4-40 Screw Bottom Plate Counter Sunk Holes
5
Concept Description – Hard Enclosure Delrin Filed Corners Wire Hole Top Piece Screw hole with SS HeliCoil
6
Attachment Styles Glue Tape Velcro Tight-fitting clothing
7
Soft Barrier

Risk Assessment Risk: Patient cannot move naturally while using system Would adulterate reported data Reviewed results with Customer and Advisor Mitigated during design phase by making people’s movements a design concern Risk: Testing phase does not occur under realistic circumstances Enclosures would not survive ‘real’ conditions Exposed enclosures to expected usage Mitigated by testing beyond overloading test conditions upon completion to find approximate factor of safety.
9
Risk Assessment Major Risk: Interfaces do not stay on patient Sensor package reports useless data Solution Careful attention paid to making the system viable for patients with many body types Mitigated by delivering multiple attachment styles
10
Current State of Design Engineering Specifications Compression testing Robustness Material Selection Impact Testing Max Load Attachment Glue Slippage Mitigations: Soft Barrier Heli-coils Silicone Sealant
11
Current State of Design (cont’d) Customer Needs Large enclosure rejected by customer Budget Total Investment: Under $1000 Current Schedule Flex Interference Test

Project was Successful! Met Customer Needs/Engineering Specs On-Time Under Budget Integration with Sensor Team Documentation for Future Teams
15
Future Work Define Ideal Attachment Strength Further System Testing Wireless Redesign
