My University
Today, I would briefly write about my Final Year Project. I'm Electrical Engineer graduated from NUCES-FAST Islamabad. Usually, final year of university is considered to be the golden period of life but in my case it was the worst year because of my Final Year Project which held me back from enjoying the perks and pleasures of the final year.
My Final year Project was actually technologically advanced wheelchair prototype that is controlled through different levels of human breathing pressures. The operator blows the air through tube according to pre-defined instructions, and gets the desired motion. The overall mechanism incorporates and makes use of pressure sensor, instrumentation amplifier, ICs, motors and Arduino to measure and detect the pressure levels and take swift decisions accordingly.
BASED ON ITS WORKING MECHANISM WE NAMED OUR PROJECT "SIP AND PUFF CONTROL BASED WHEELCHAIR"
The purpose of this project was to give an opportunity to physically challenged people to achieve independence and enhanced mobility in their lives. This project targets those special people who are completely paralyzed and are unable to move feet or hands. To help them in achieving independence in their lives we set to start working on this concept.
I don't have the video of its final version though I have this short video of it in its raw form
Long story short, at the end of semester we were able to design a complete prototype of the wheelchair bot. We presented our project in front of the panel finely and we were awarded A grade.
