    Area of Science:

    • Robotics
    • Assistive Technology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Upper limb disabilities from conditions like spinal cord injury and stroke limit eating autonomy.
    • Assistive technologies are crucial for enhancing independence and social inclusion for affected individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an educational robotic arm with 5 degrees of freedom as a meal-assist robot.
    • To enhance independence for individuals with upper limb impairments during meal times.

    Main Methods:

    • A 5-DOF robotic arm was constructed using 3D-printed utensils and a wooden base.
    • A voice recognition module was integrated for command input, recognizing five programmed commands.
    • Performance was evaluated through a water transfer test and feeding cycle time measurement.

    Main Results:

    • The robotic arm successfully transported over 75% of the water in the transfer test.
    • Each feeding cycle was completed within an average of 21 seconds.
    • The device demonstrated significant effectiveness in assisting the feeding process.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed educational robotic arm is an effective assistive device for individuals with upper limb disabilities.
    • This technology promotes greater independence and autonomy during meals.
    • Voice-controlled robotic solutions offer a viable path for improving quality of life.
