Wearable Fetal ECG Monitoring System

Wearable Technology      Fetal ECG      IC Design      Data Processing      Clinical Trials

My current work is to design a wearable system for fetal ECG signal detection. This system includes both hardware for signal acquisition and a custom IC chip designed specifically for fetal ECG monitoring. Additionally, a real-time monitoring and data processing platform is developed for the device. Currently, it is successfully being used in clinical trials, outperforming commercial equipment in terms of accuracy and ease of wear.

Rehabilitation Device for Stroke Patients

EMG Detection      Wearable Sensor      Gesture Recognition      Rehabilitation

I designed a multi-channel EMG signal detection device to assist stroke patients in rehabilitation. It captures and processes EMG signals in real-time, recognizes hand gestures, and controls paralyzed limbs to facilitate rehabilitation exercises.

National Smart Car Competition

Autonomous Vehicle      Camera-based Navigation      Balance Control     

I contributed to the design of a two-wheel balance car for the NXP National Smart Car Competition. Equipped with a camera system, the car autonomously navigates the race track, performs turns, accelerations, and climbs while maintaining balance.

Our team won the 2nd prize in the competition.
