Active Muscle Stimulator (Trask)
Stuff about the development of the active muscle stimulator, a device that assists people with neurological challenges in relation to muscle activation.
The following is a short summary of my efforts related to using a microcontroller for controlling some of my leg muscles. Motivation I find the idea of compensating for physical inability by attaching computers to the human body quite fascinating. In this post we are continuing this journey by trying to activate the muscle activation … Continue reading A Microcontroller Controlling My Legs 1/2
TRANSLATION ACCURACY Translating a sequence of vectors from an accelerometer into movements is not a simple task, when it must be done accurately and with limited computational resources. Accuracy here also relates to how the underlying model reacts to previously unseen movements. Since this device is attached to a person in movement, it must perform … Continue reading Understanding Movements
Today I am looking at the proposed hardware for the release version of the Active Muscle Stimulator. The hardware I will be testing consists of sensors and the main computer. I need to figure out how this sensor hardware works, and if the computer is fast enough. The Raspberry Pi Zero is really small, even … Continue reading A First Look at Release Version Hardware
