Inspiration: Rehabilitation is the path through which many patients suffering injuries are brought back to their daily routine. For a person just recovering from such an accident, efficient and interactive rehabilitation can repair both their physical and mental wounds they would have incurred.
What it does: Our robot is an attempt to improve
fine motor skills for those who have suffered injuries (mental or physical) by a fun and interactive interface to control the robot. Our system converts the tilt gestures of the user into 2 axis movement of the robot. This gesture data is sent to the robot over RF.
How I built it: We have two arduinos, one converts the gestures into proper tilt data and it is sent to the robot over RF. This is converted into motor outputs by the second arduino.
Challenges I ran into: accessing the data from the IMU, communicating with the NRF240L and converting IMU data into tilt movemets , converting tilt into motor movements.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of: Building something that can help others.
What I learned: How to trobleshoot and using different communication prtocols
What's next for Accelabuddy-3000 : refine it and and make it more useful for patients.
