Problem Addressed
Providing increased independence to individuals with motor impairments, loss of hand function, or quadriplegia in feeding themselves.
Technology
The automatic feeding machine detects a face within a six-inch range via sensors. A gear motor guides a spoon to scoop up the food placed on a plate. An activated sensor will carry it to the mouth of the user and stop when they move out of range. A controller circuit regulates speed for smooth operation. It works on either current or battery. Based on feedback about the prototype, The innovator also made it foldable and used one motor instead of two. This has reduced the cost of manufacturing. This innovation is fully automatic, requiring no switch or assistance. It works on either current or battery. Compared to its counterparts, it is portable, frugal, and user-friendly.

Societal Impact
When commercialised, it has the capability to impact the lives of many.
Current status
Some of the prototypes have been distributed to physically challenged individuals, and their feedback has been collected. Based on the feedback, the prototypes are being continuously improved The innovation is not yet commercialised.
