Pick up Device
About this project
John, a 55-year-old Quadruple Amputee and wheelchair user, finds it extremely difficult to pick up anything that falls onto the floor. This is due to the distance between the height of his wheelchair and the lack of dexterity in his prosthetics. John is seeking a solution that will grip onto objects and be dextrose enough to allow him to access things on the floor that would otherwise be out of reach.
