ME PROJECT 34
Equine Simulator
Advisor: Prof. Stephen Tse
Email: sdytse@rutgers.edu
WebEx Meeting Place: https://rutgers.webex.com/meet/sdytse
Project Abstract: Equine simulator for learning to ride and transition between
different gaits.
Project Goals: Based on an equine simulator prototype constructed last year, the
students will modify the apparatus to support a person up to 150 lbs, along with adding
controls for the rider to switch gaits (walk, trot, canter, and gallop). Moreover, active
sensors will be incorporated to change movements to stabilize the rider and prevent
falling, as needed.
Project Envisioned Outcomes: If possible, jumping motion will be added to the
controlled movement.
