DESIGN

EASE

OF USE


The mobile robotic arm assists people with mobility challenges by reducing the risk of falls and confidently performing activities of daily living.

ASSIST

MOBILE

PLATFORM


GRACE is an independent platform with a zero radius turn that can be controlled through a mobile app on a smartphone or a joystick. This allows GRACE to independently grab items for users.

REACH

WELL-BEING &

INDEPENDENCE


Through innovative assistive technology, GRACE aims to provide the sense of well-being and independence by no longer having to depend on caregivers to pick items off the ground for them.

IMPROVE

“I have come across a lot of inventors who do not have disabilities. Most of them missed the mark completely with their inventions. You have a very keen mind for finding things that would actually be useful.”

DESIGN ELEMENTS

GRACE features display

The hand grabs and holds items to bring items off the ground level to prevent bending over or down to the ground level.


The arm extends up and down, out and in to help reach objects near and far for the operator.

The tripod wheels allow for GRACE to travel independently away from the operators stationary position or wheel chair for increased independence.

DESTINED TO IMPROVE THE LIVES

OF THOSE WITH DISABILITIES FOREVER.

GRACE allows users to pick up items without bending down, reducing the risk of falling and the need to rely on caregivers, thus improving quality of life and self-confidence.
