Title Performance Tracking Hockey Stick
Supervisor Glenn Cowan
Description In partnership with McGill’s Ice Hockey Research Group, this group will put sensors such as strain gauges, pressure sensors, gyros and accelerometers to help answer key biomechanical questions about player/stick/puck interaction. Log/transmit/display the data. Use wireless triangulation to track the stick’s location. Please note: I am keen to supervise other projects under the umbrella of smart sports technology, whether it be for running (low-power smart insoles), cycling (low-cost power meter), or cross-country skiing (power measurement).
Student Requirement [Prerequisite knowledge: background courses, software skills, etc.] Ideal group has a mix of hardware/software. Familiarity with microcontrollers is a must. ELEC 312, COEN 316/317
