MOBI

Semi-automatic robot called MOBI that reinvents and enhances sports medicine through the use of computer vision and arduino hardware. Uses real time tracking to give live feedback on arm flexion.

Comment

Inspiration: Passion for sports medicine. Lifelong interest in biomedical technology with the use of computer science.

What it does: Controls two independent servos, one being for auto camera calibration tracking and the other being joint-angle mimicry. Provides real time physical feedback to both user and expert on immediate flexion of the arm.

How we built it

Utilized Python, openCV, mediaPipe, arduino hardware, and arduino IDE to connect software and hardware. Used computer vision to create a model and give feedback. The Software sends the arduino the necessary data to act on it.

Challenges we ran into

Connecting the hardware and software. Running into breaking circuitry and frying it. Coding issues revolved around openCV and mediaPipe.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Figuring out how to connect new hardware. Being able to bring our idea into fruition in a good package.

What we learned

Lots of new stuff about computer vision, how arduinos communicate, openCV, mediaPipe, and arduino IDE/Code.

What's next for MOBI

More integration into different parts of the body. Full 360 camera tracking. Use of a website to control start/end of camera tracking.
