有手臂的餐盤!機器輔具將成為身障者福音


      不論只是填飽肚子,還是享受美食,吃東西是一般人每天再稀鬆平常不過的行為。但對許多行動不便的人而言,將食物送到口中這看似簡單的動作,卻難如登天。有了 Obi 這台附加機器手臂的餐盤,一切都將有可能改觀。



      Obi 的大小如同普通的餐盤,分成 4 個盛裝食物的格子。其中一側安裝了一具裝有湯匙的機器手臂。一旦將它放在使用者面前的桌上,看護就可以「教導」Obi 如何將食物送到適合的位置餵食,接下來它會記住並重複這個動作。

▲ 只要經過一次調校,Obi 就會記住餵食的高度與距離,重複動作。



       使用者可以透過兩個無障礙開關連結並運作 Obi,一個能將湯匙切換到不同的格子,另一個則能控制機器手臂去餵食。Obi 的充電電池可以維持 2~4 小時的運作,它的手臂相當靈活,可以沿著「碗」的邊緣,刮取不同類型的物品,從大顆葡萄到細小米粒都難不倒它。如果手臂運作前往預設目標的途中遭到阻礙,它就會退回去等待下一步指示。
