5. The Need of the market Oxygen Therapy –Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) –Pulmonary fibrosis –Cystic fibrosis (CF) –emphysema –sarcoidosis

6. The solution Our proposed product is the solution

7. Design Overview Our product R&D team is split up into 3 departments. The mechanical, hardware, and the software department Oxygen Caddie ProgrammingMechanicalElectronic

8. Mechanical Design Able to support the weight Special design of sensor house Keeps our circuits safe

9. Design Overview Electrical Design Features 3 Major modules, 3 Major challenges overcome Controller Emitter/Sensor Actuator

10. Block diagram

11. Sensor Our sensors uses infrared sensors Advantages -Cheap -Available -Proven -Simple Other solutions -Ultrasound -Modules such as the Sharp GP2D02

12. Controller We are using the PIC16F876A microcontroller from Microchip Advantages -Meets our processing requirements -Cheap ($3.40 US) -Easy to use in a prototype Other solutions - FPGA, web camera, HC11

13. Actuator Consist of only one driving IC L298 Advantages -Simple controlling circuits -Cheap controlling circuits -Many distributors Other solutions -Stepper motor

14. Programming Design Programming Design Features The brain of our robot is a PIC16F876A –Interpret the sensor data and determine the position of the user –Check the distance from the user –Control the motor movements by output the correspond signal to the motor driver for a determined period
