Smart Cane – P14043Sub Systems Design Review Lauren Bell, Jessica Davila, Jake Luckman, William McIntyre, Aaron Vogel
Agenda • Project Scope • Concept Selection • Engineering Requirements • Component Breakdown • Engineering Analysis • Test Plan • Risk Analysis • Project Plan • Audience Feedback Please
Concept Selection • Final Concept Ideas • Finger Scroll • Palm Roller • Palm Roller and Finger Scroll • Final Concept Selection • Palm Roller without Finger Scroll
Design Grip Pressure Spec • Ensure handle functions under excessive grip • Measure pressure of displaced air for rough idea • Median pressure ~3 psi • Compare to Grip Pressure Study* • FSR sensors on glove • “Crush grip” measured on 50mm diameter handle • 5 male and 5 female adults • Maximum pressure ~3.1 psi • Our measurements matched the study, therefore: • Marginal Grip Pressure: 3 psi • Maximum (Design) Pressure: 5 psi * Tao Guoqiang; Li Jun yuan; Jiang Xian feng, "Research on virtual testing of hand pressure distribution for handle grasp," Mechatronic Science, Electric Engineering and Computer (MEC), 2011 International Conference on, pp.1610,1613, 19-22 Aug. 201
Required Motor Torque • Worst Case – Excessive grip stalls motor • Maximum moment caused by design pressure • 50.1 oz-in
Motor Type Selection • Design Factors to meet Engineering Requirements • Rotational speeds of 30 to 60 RPM • Commonly available at 50 oz-in
Engineering Analysis:Bump Rotation Characteristics • Effective haptic zone – lower palm • Effective Bump Height • Bump Frequency
Roller Analysis • Bumps per rotation • Servo to Roller Spacing • Effectiveness of our model – Audience?
Handle Material Selection • Desirable Qualities • Moisture wicking • Higher Coefficient of Friction • Possible Options • Softex • Neoprene • Tennis Racquet Handle Cover • Top Choice • Synthetic Cloth - Nylon • Tennis Racquet Handle Cover
