Project Description

This project was completed as my final year project of my B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering. The goal was to develop a glove that could be used by rock-climbers and physical therapists to accurately measure the forces deployed in the tendons and other structures in the fingers of the hand.

Project details:

• Completed in a team of 9
• Worked with a real client, with real deadlines and requests
• Took 1 year to complete
• Required multiple big deliverables and presentations

My contributions

Due to the size of this project, it involved a good amount of teamwork. My main contributions include:

• Designing all the PCBs and circuits with Eagle
• Developping the module capable of telling the angle of every phalanx on the hand(thumb excluded) in real-time using Arduino and Inertial Measurements Units (IMU)
• Helping develop a graphical user interface to show the data with QtCreator
• Leading and managing the weekly team meetings
• Leading the meetings with the Client
• Contributing to the redaction of official documentation and reviewing the whole documents for syntax, typos, and grammatical mistakes.

Following the end of the project, my peers designated me as the main leader of the team, and many told me they really enjoyed working with me because I contributed to creating a friendly, yet professional atmosphere
