1 P14045: Mobile Pediatric Stander Greg Roeth Emily Courtney Alex Hebert John Daley Martha Vargas

2 Agenda Introduce team Project background Problem statement & project deliverables Use scenarios Customer requirements Engineering requirements Draft of project plan 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 2

3 Greg Roeth: Project Manager/Mechanical Engineer Alex Hebert: Lead Mechanical Engineer Emily Courtney: Mechanical Engineer Martha Vargas: Lead Electrical Engineer John Daley: Electrical Engineer Who’s who? 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 3

4 What is a Mobile Pediatric Stander *Facts/Image: Snug Seat Product Guide 2013 ● Teaching Style Push In vs Pull Out ● Happier Kids ● Standing vs Sitting 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 4

5 Understanding the User ● Predominantly pre-school kids with Cerebral Palsy (CP) ● CP is a “non progressive brain disorder” caused by damage to a developing brain ○ disconnection between muscles and the brain ■ wide range of motor skills/control ○ condition typically doesn’t worsen or improve over time ● Some users are on the Autism spectrum as well 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 5

6 Current State- Phase 2 Stander Rabbit Stander Controls Motors Bluetooth Connectivity Sensors Known issues 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 6

7 P14045 Problem Statement Current State - Phase 2 stander (shown previously) Desired State - smooth start/stopping, a second, separate control interface (i.e. remote control), straighter travel Project Goals - modular control system, 3rd party control, and straighter travel Constraints - safety, weight, cost, power consumption 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 7

8 P14045 Project Deliverables A ready-to-use modified pediatric stander equipped with modular control choices - “Functional prototype that could be marketed to companies” *images taken from Google images 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 8

9 P14045 Stakeholders ● User ● Physical Therapist or teacher’s aid ● Baggage handler (i.e. airline employees) ● Assistive Technology Engineers ● Inventors ● Our Team 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 9

10 Usage Scenarios Considered ●Therapeutic: ○Independent Control ■ Child is free to drive/control stander by his/herself. ○Assisted Control ■ Child drives, teacher assists/overrides when needed ○Full External Control ■ Stander completely controlled by remote ●Classroom use ○Lots of obstacles in close proximity, tight turns required ●Hallway use ○Few obstacles, extended straight runs. 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 10

11 P14045 Customer Requirements Customer Rqmt. #ImportanceDescriptionComments/Status CR19Update current standers Modify P13045’s Stander and/or the Mk1 stander CR23Stander Fits StudentSmall size stander is preferred for preschoolers CR39Drives StraightFigure out last year’s shortfalls CR49Start/StopNo start/stop jerk CR593rd Party ControlsAssist, override features CR63Collision Detectionincorporating into the board CR73Multiple Styles of Control (joystick, buttons, ipad app)Modular system? CR81Professional lookPossible routing through tubing of stander CR91Package as upgrade kitpotential future option, long term CR101Ti controllerto enter into TI competition CR113Low WeightLight enough for Linda to carry it CR123Battery Lasts all daylast a whole school day w/heavy use. CR131Capable of rougher terrainuse on playground surfaces CR149full access to tablescontrols more out from in front of child CR153Child/weather-proofAcidents and tampering proof CR163Adaptable control system teachers/therapists able to change out controls CR179non-interference with regular useadded equipment can't get in the weay of how the child is strapped in CR181Affordable parts 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 11

15 P14045 Preliminary Schedule 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 15

16 Issue & Corrective Actions ●Lost an Electrical Engineer in the group Be more efficient No one with background in robotics or programming pull RIT resources through GCIS and Innovation Center Current state of project plan is weak High priority for the following weeks 14045 Week 3 Project Presentation - 8/3/13 16
