Abstract

The title for this project is ‘Design and Development of Automatic Proper Posture Detection Chair’ where all about ergonomic chair design that can prevent poor siting posture and discomfort pain for school students. However, this design of the project uses solid work. Some primary schools still use wooden chairs for students, mostly year one and year two in the classroom. Although, year three until year six using plastic chair. This make discomfort will cause buttock pain for students when they sit on the wooden chair in a classroom for a longer time, while they have poor posture when discomfort begins. Getting a solution from this project for primary school students can detect poor posture, proper posture, and distribution of pressure while siting on a wooden chair and plastic chair. In order to detect poor posture and proper posture, the force sensitive resistors sensor mounted on backrest cushion and seat cushion to detect pressure distribution. In addition, when students sit in poor posture seating will produce alarm and turn on indicators. This analyzed project uses termite to calculate data from Arduino Uno and shows the output in Microsoft Excel.
