Ergonomic Posture Assessment Wearable
Spinal curvature tracking harness utilizing IMU sensors and haptic vibration feedback for industrial workers.
Project Overview
Prevents occupational musculoskeletal disorders. Measures spinal inclination angles during heavy lifting tasks, triggering subtle haptic buzzes when workers bend with improper lumbar posture. ### Practical Student Engineering Solution Fully functional hardware demonstration prototype equipped with dedicated microcontrollers, precision sensors, actuators, and an interactive cloud/mobile telemetry dashboard. ### Key Learning Outcomes - Embedded C / MicroPython firmware architecture and sensor interfacing - IoT telemetry protocols (MQTT / HTTP / BLE / LoRaWAN) - Power regulation, hardware debugging, and PCB design principles - Comprehensive technical documentation aligned with IEEE academic standards
Modern commercial and industrial infrastructure requires automated, real-time sensing and telemetry. Conventional manual monitoring suffers from high latency, human error, and lack of predictive fault visibility for Ergonomic Posture Assessment Wearable.
A turnkey engineering prototype integrating high-precision sensor modules, dedicated microcontroller unit, and cloud telemetry protocols to automate measurement, trigger alert thresholds, and provide remote dashboard control.
