Digital External Fixator

Wayne State University

Designed and built a concept prototype electronic external fixator and support systems based on Arduino. Built a microcontroller based hexapod fixator prototype using the Stewarts platform 6DOF robot model. Implemented current sensing circuit for motor currents used to estimate force applied by each motor. Developed an image processing application in Matlab to determine the polynomial equation of limbs, to be used to determine any deformities.
