SMART SPOON – An Innovative Project by RoboLectro Kinesist
They presented a business model of a “SMART SPOON” which will help Parkinson’s patients around the world to have a meal without worrying to drop it. This use of robotics will help a mere act of chewing be easy!
They had several outreach sessions with experts, finalized the solution, designed the smart spoon using CAD, 3D printed parts, connected Electronics, and developed the software. (A prototype built from scratch).
The prototype is undergoing a validation process in association with RV College of Physiotherapy.
