Motorised Massage Roller

Our Project

Our project will develop an electrical exercising tool using a foam roller to diminish back pain using the concept of foam rolling. The tool will be able to drive itself in forwards and reverse motion underneath a laying user's body with a system under user command.

This project will focus on manufacturing a prototype with a lot of experimentation, testing and evaluation from a hacked prototype which requires abundant of incremental improvements.

This project mainly aim to manufacture a prototype in order to better understand the development and the mechanism of the product. If the prototype is tested to work, this project will be brought further by the client into commercialisation.

Our prototype is made up from a foam roller, wheel, motor and switch for user's control.

Goals

• To build a massage roller prototype to relieve back pain and increase individual daily work productivity.
• To build a device that is affordable, portable and easy to use that requires minimal physical force.
• Development tool to understand the product and how it works.

Deliverables

• Build a hacked prototype.
• Evaluate and improve the hacked prototype.
• Design and build the final prototype.
