Abstract

People’s daily life activities, such as eating, washing and dressing, are very important to the quality of life. However, for many people with disabilities, including those with upper limbs, these tasks prove to be challenging without the help of human caregivers. However, the shortage of medical workers and rising medical costs have created an urgent need for innovation, making aid more affordable and effective. A typical auxiliary task is dietary assistance, which is the basic daily necessities for maintaining health. People with upper limbs and limbs often have difficulty supporting themselves. Technical intervention can solve the problem by bridging the gap between physical ability and necessary functional ability. This design is based on a single-chip microcomputer control system-assisted feeding manipulator design, which can assist in completing the feeding function, and can also add voice or facial recognition modules to enhance the human-computer interaction experience. The design is mainly composed of editing controller-control and detection-power element. That is, the food is fed through a control program, transmitted to a target position through a power element, and whether feeding is completed is judged through a control and detection device. And we will try to add some functional modules to enhance the human-computer interaction experience.
