Robotic Spoon AwardedPosted 23 Dec 2006 at 17:10 UTC by Rog-a-matic 
Along with an elevator-using automated vacuum and a furry therapeutic
seal, the
My Spoon meal-assistance robot was honored this week at the
2006 Robot Award(s) ceremony in
Tokyo. My Spoon can scoop up food located within compartments of
a special tray and move them towards a human eater, simplifying an
otherwise difficult task for those with physical limitations.
Modes include manual operation providing joystick control,
semi-automatic, and fully-automatic where food selection, motion, and
feedback from the eater is all under control of the computer.
