The project goals were broken down into two categories, programming/hardware development and innovation of inverse control.

The programming and hardware development consisted of:

• Building a skeleton ventilator and integrating it with a microcontroller board that will be used to control it.
• Developing a multitasking OS for the microcontroller
• Developing the interface and control software for the microcontroller
• Developing an OLE controller for NeuroSolutions. This component communicates via the serial port with the ventilator and sends the data to NeuroSolutions in packets. This component can be thought of as a remote control for NeuroSolutions
• Developing NeuroSolutions equivalent neural components on the microcontroller

The inverse control goals were:

• Implement the basic neural inverse control algorithm on the hardware
• Study proposed enhancements via simulation
• Implement the best enhancements
• Validate the results using a mechanical test lung
