Poster Presentations: April 22, 4-6 pm Final Design Presentations: April 23rd and 24th
The MAE Capstone Design class has been tasked this semester by UF’s Nonlinear Controls and Robotics (NCR) Group to design a lift & harness system providing offset weight support for users undergoing neuromuscular rehabilitation on elliptical trainers. Final designs must lift participants from their wheelchair, transport them to the elliptical trainer, and safely suspended them above the trainer during exercise and FES stimulation. Their support systems must maintain a controllable weight offset so the participant need only support a fraction of their total body weight during rehabilitation exercise. Further detail on the design expectations and 31 required design metrics can be found under Customer Needs.
