Project Timeline

Jan 2022 - May-2022

OVERVIEW

Analyzed the system and design of an actuator controlled prosthetic hand, focusing on PID control.

HighlightS

  • Led group design team to develop the system controls and optimized using the Ziegler-Nichols method.
  • Utilized DC servo motors to move hand.
  • Modeled controls in MATLAB and Simulink.
  • Conducted mathematical studies for laplace transfer studies for the system.
