Thermal Imaging is increasingly being used to study heat coming from the body using specialized infrared cameras that measures temperature. The aim of this study was to determine if skin temperature above the muscle was related to EMG signal of the muscle during certain functions. In this study, six subjects carried out arm movements such as wrist flexion-extension, hand close-open and forearm pronation-supination...
The flexion and extension of human muscular doesn't only support the human's motion but it also could help in term of energy harvesting. Motion of the human body is capable to generate electrical energy with the support of suitable harvesting devices. This type of energy is very useful for those do not have access to the electrical power grid for prolonged duration. Biomechanical energy harvesting...
In the recent years, the field of robotics been developed at a very fast pace due to the technology development. Robots been used to perform the tasks that human can and cannot do and this has mad the human life much easier. The most popular robot nowadays is the humanoid robot. Humanoid robot is a robot that been designed to have a similar feature to a human body part such as hand, leg, finger and...
Low back pain is a spinal-related problem mainly caused by degenerative disc disease. Throughout the spine, the lumbar region is the most prone to the disease since it supports the upper torso by transmitting compressive and shearing forces to the lower body during everyday activities. The study focused on the bottom-most L5-S1 segment of the lumbar. The project was conducted by measuring the range...
The field of electrical engineering is now being widely used in vehicle technology. The current demand of high electrical power owing to increase in electrical vehicle and the pressure on automobile markers to reduce emission levels have brought the usage of power converters and electric drives to the frontline in automation and robotic industries. This research aims to discuss the design and control...
Energy harvesting has become a need for the society due to the continual rise of the demand for energy. As fossil fuels around the world depletes, alternate means of harvesting energy is required. This paper discusses the energy harvesting techniques from human locomotion mainly the energy lost to the surroundings during heel strikes. Motion Tracking System (QTM), Pressure sensors and Electromyography...
The biomechanical analysis assists to provide evidences in the performance of the system used for stroke rehabilitation of lower and upper limb of human body. This could be done by providing a better understanding of human lower extremities movement through implementation of electromyography (EMG). As human body is a complex biomechanical machine, conducting analysis using only EMG is not sufficient...
In recent years, research into energy saving has been increasing in view of dealing with environmental problems and effectively using energy resources. In a plant, power consumption monitoring of individual inductive devices like motors would have significant impact on energy savings in the long run. However, the current practice of measurement of power consumption of the whole plant rather than individual...
This paper describes the development of a modular general purpose controller board for biologically inspired robot. The circuits are designed using Protel, an electronic design software that bring together the traditionally separate disciplines of board design, programmable hardware design and software development. The general purpose controller board which currently has five categories; power, communication,...
