Neuroprosthetic Leg, 2016
As part of the MIT Media Lab, this research aimed to restore proprioception, or a sense of body position, to individuals with residual limbs, using a combination of novel surgical techniques and robotic prosthesis.
Using Matlab simulations and Solidworks design/failure analysis, I constructed the passive portion of an osseointegrated robotic neuroprosthesis. This portion (upper-left), models a metacarpal joint as a spring-damper system with set physical and geometric properties.
