Assignment 2: Design Summary & Analysis

From the article, “Where’s My Supersuit '', Zelik (2019), it is stated that human exoskeletons are under development for injury prevention, public use, and numerous other application suggestions. These human exoskeletons are known to be expensive, bulky, and uncomfortable, but despite this, most people actually reap benefits from this creation. Initially developed to reduce job burnout 5 years ago, these motorised exo-suits were further developed to provide targeted assistance to the legs, arms and hands as a guide to proper lifting techniques and resistance training. On top of the basic functions of the exoskeleton, the creation is accompanied by the development of a spring-powered exo-suit that aids in the walking and running of ankle muscles. The human exoskeleton is also a useful product when it comes to preventing injuries as well as to provide support and enhancement to patients with spinal cord injuries. One useful function of the exoskeleton is to help workers preven...

In the article, “Where’s My Supersuit”, Zelik(2019) has stated that human exoskeletons are under development for injury prevention, public use, and numerous other application suggestions. 5 years ago, they were initially developed to reduce the fatigue of jobs. Most people can benefit from the creation of exoskeletons. However, the exoskeletons are expensive, bulky and uncomfortable. These motorized exo-suits are targeted to assist the legs, arms, and hands.it could also be used to teach proper lifting techniques or to provide resistance training. Spring-powered exo-suits are also developed to assist ankle muscles for walking and running. Other developments would include neck-support for surgeons and nurses for surgical procedures. A clothing-like exoskeleton is developed for patients with lower back pain. The mechanized clothing will prevent pain. When the suit is switched off, the user will be able to move freely. Otherwise, the elastic bands will support the backload.  Alth...

Letter of Self-Introduction

Subject: Self-Introduction Dear Professor Brad, My name is Pay Xuan Ju. I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic in 2017 with a Diploma in Aeronautical and Aerospace Technology. During the three years in polytechnic, my interest and passion for engineering grew as I realized how closely related it is to our everyday life. Hence, I decided to switch to Mechanical Engineering as it covers a wider aspect of engineering. I believe that Mechanical Engineering is more applicable to our lives and the knowledge I gain through this course will be beneficial to my future job prospects. Furthermore, the demand for Mechanical Engineers is growing rapidly in Singapore as we further progress into a technological hub. Having grown up in a Chinese speaking family, I am more well-versed in Mandarin. I often find myself stumbling to find the right words to communicate effectively in English. My standard of English has impacted my confidence level and as a result, communicating with professiona...
