BESCHREIBUNG

iARM ist ein Medical-Robots von Assistive Innovations. Er ist für Assistenz, Medizinische Assistenz, Hilfe ausgelegt. Eckdaten: 1.5 kg Traglast.

The iARM is Assistive Innovations' assistive robotic arm for people with a severe physical disability, for example from a progressive muscle disease, a high spinal cord injury, a serious neurological condition or heavy tremors, whose own arm and hand function is too limited for everyday tasks. Built like a human arm with a shoulder section, upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist and gripper, it acts as a personal assistant mounted on the user's electric wheelchair, or on a tripod stand, and is driven by the user. Users steer it with the wheelchair joystick, separate switches, a keyboard or a smartphone. It lifts up to 1.5 kg with a powerful gripper that has a safety release, and has an eating and drinking mode; clients use it to pick up food and drink, put glasses on and off, scratch an itch, pick a phone up from the floor, and draw or paint. On a wheelchair it runs from the chair's battery with low power consumption. Assistive Innovations' specialists assess the wheelchair, reinforce the mounting where needed with the wheelchair supplier's approval, and advise, deliver, train and evaluate each user with their therapist.
