Weekly Meeting 2 (11/07/18)

Posted by Rebecca Jones on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 in Notebook.

Updates
- Shipping arm tomorrow
Literature Review
- In progress
- Begin a patent search
- Goal: to be done by the end of next week
- Send to Emily
Questions
- Are the myoelectric controllers (myowaer muscle sensor) integrated into the prosthesis, or do we have to buy those along with the electrodes?
  - Not necessarily the same for every device
  - Should look into ottobock specifications
  - May have to order microcontroller
    - Embedded microcontroller in the socket but may not be able to access
- Do you need a process and make it scalable (does it need to be reproducible), or are we designing it for the specific prosthesis being sent to us?
  - It should be an add-on that can be added to any prosthesis
  - Should be diverse
Gantt Chart
- Once finish literature review, want to start working on EMG
- Over winter break, will start researching algorithms
- In February, want to start integrating design
- Hope to have a working prototype by the beginning of April
