Hello,

I would like to introduce my competition project entitled “Neuron Leg Brace (NLB).”
Neuron Leg Brace is an innovative medical assistive device that utilizes technology to improve the quality of life of users, particularly in terms of mobility and independence for people with physical disabilities.

This project is designed as a leg support device (orthosis) that operates by utilizing brainwave detection technology, specifically human beta brain waves. The system is equipped with sensors and motors that interact with body movements, allowing the level of support to adapt to the user’s needs in real time. Through this approach, Neuron Leg Brace is expected to effectively assist users in performing walking activities more independently.

I developed this project while participating in the GINECO (Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition 2024 )  as a contribution to the advancement of assistive technology in the healthcare sector.

From a technical perspective, Neuron Leg Brace adopts a robotic-based system using several key components, including an Arduino microcontroller, NeuroSky Brain Sensor, JX PDI 6221 servo motor, high-torque MG 20 kg servo motor, and mechanical hinge components. These components work together to drive a human leg replica designed to assist individuals with permanent physical disabilities.

In addition, the use of 3D design modeling plays an important role in clearly illustrating how the system is structured, assembled, and applied in real-world conditions. This visualization supports a better understanding of the device’s functionality and assists in the design development and evaluation process.

Below is the 3D design visualization of the Neuron Leg Brace project developed for the GINECO competition.
