Abstract
A capstone project team meets with an individual with arthrogryposis who cannot bend his elbows or feed himself efficiently due to elbow contractures. An automatic fork is being designed to assist the client in self feeding. With the push of a button, the fork with the food on it will move toward his mouth for ingestion. The project is intended to increase his independence and self esteem. ©2010 IEEE.
