PREVIOUS WORK

​

One of our team members, Maxton Wilson, is part of a student design team called Michigan Neuroprosthetics. This team is dedicated to designing, building and delivering prosthetic arms to people that need them.

​

Because the work completed for this project was intended to compliment a project started by this student organization, it is important that we distinguish what we have accomplished from the work done by the Michigan Neuroprosthetics team.

Essentially, the Michigan Neuroprosthetics team had already designed the physical prosthetic arm and implemented a very basic threshold method prior to us starting our work. With the exception of the physical arm, however, everything mentioned on this website represents work done by the members of this EECS 351 project group. 

​

Our work primarily involved the programming parts of the arm design, namely the implementation of DSP tools learned through class and external sources as well as the code required to move the arm. This was beyond the scope of what had been accomplished by the Neuroprosthetics team, and represents entirely our own work.
