Powered Ankle-Knee Prothesis for Transfemoral Amputees
The WalkAbout team: John Jacobellis, Gene Merewether, Jiayi Lin and me. This is an one-year group project for my master degree. For this project, we are required to accomplish it via a system engineering approach. We also need to develop a feasible business plan. My contribution to the project included control, simulation, parts selection, machining parts, […]
InMoov 3D Printed Arm
I built this arm in collaboration with John Wu, who is currently the CEO of a start-up called 3DMaker Inc. John was previously working at National Instrument (Taiwan Branch) as a technical manager. We published a book together couple years ago entitled Handbook of LabVIEW Programming: Build Your Own Intelligent Robots. Since he knew that I am an […]
A Wearable Walking Monitoring System for Gait Analysis
This research project was my undergraduate thesis, and was conducted under Dr. Ta-Te Lin's and Dr. Wei-Li Hsu's supervision. Dr. Lin is the director of the Biophotonics and Bioimaging Laboratory, which I joined as an undergraduate researcher; Dr. Hsu is from the School and Graduate Institute of Physical Therapy and is the director of Movement Science […]
Powered Exoskeleton for Lower Extremity
After studying the biomechanics of gait and developing a wearable gait monitoring system, we began to design a powered exoskeleton for lower extremity. Initially, there were only three members in the research group: me, another undergraduate researcher (Chia-Wei Chang), and a PhD student (An-Chi Tsai) from our lab. In addition to our lab’s director, Dr. […]
