Title: Project Description:: "Wireless Battery Charging System"

This project proposal describes a robotic hand technology designed to aid in rehabilitation for stroke patients who have lost hand power. The robotic hand uses pneumatic actuation and air muscles to allow patients to perform finger movements and coordinated hand motions during at-home therapy. The lightweight wearable device is affordable and aims to help patients maintain finger strength and coordination through a microcontroller-controlled system. If successful, the robotic hand technology could improve recovery outcomes for stroke survivors suffering from upper extremity paralysis.

PROJECT PROPOSAL
(Design Project I)

TITLE:

Wireless Battery Charging System

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Day by day new technologies are making our life simpler. Wireless charging
through inductive coupling could be one of the next technologies that bring the future
nearer. This project investigates the use of wireless power to charge a Lithium ion
battery. The aim of this project is to build a wireless charging circuit to test the efficiency
of wireless power transfer. With the increase in use of smartphones and other portable
devices, wireless charging could solve the problem of short battery life.
TARGET BENEFECIARIES:
Wireless charging can offer consumers an ability to top off their battery
throughout the day. Leave the house with a full charge and continue to top off power on
the way to the office via an in-car wireless charger. At the office, there can conceivably
be wireless charging pads at a desk, a conference table and a lunch room. In the true
wireless power world, wireless power will be everywhere, e.g., at coffee shops, airports,
airplanes, trains, hotels, shopping malls, and more.
AREA OF STUDY:

TITLE:

Robotic Hand Technology for the Rehabilitation of Recovering Stroke


Patients with loss of Hand Power

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the Philippines. People that survived
stroke them survived were left with any number of disabilities, one such disability is
upper extremity paraplegia. Current therapy on the affected limb in the hospital is
expensive and difficult to manage due to the limited amount of resources compared to
the number of patients. We introduce a pneumatic actuated wearable hand and forearm
device in this thesis. It is designed according to the hand and arm kinematics. It can
help the patients keep power on each finger and help maintain the coordination of
different fingers to achieve daily living movements. It consists of forearm brace,
rehabilitation glove and artificial muscles. The custom made artificial muscles are used
in antagonistic pairs to control the fingers flexing and extension. The rehabilitation

device is small, lightweight, home-based, and has large force capabilities. It is also
affordable to the patients due to the specially designed low-cost artificial muscles. The
rehabilitation device was controlled by solenoid valves in conjunction with a Mitsubishi
M32/83C 16-bit micro controller. Experiments on the pneumatic elbow brace have
shown that it is capable of moving each finger from full extension to flexing, to perform
actions like pinching and allows the coordinated movement of two fingers.
TARGET BENEFECIARIES:
This system will help stroke survivors that were left with upper extremity
paraplegia.
