Md Esharuzzaman Emu, Samarjith Biswas, Rajendra Shrestha

This project introduces a Feeding Assistive Robot tailored to individuals with physical disabilities, including those with limited arm function or hand control. The core component is a precise 6-degree freedom robotic arm, operated seamlessly through voice commands. Integration of an Arduino-based Braccio Arm, a distance sensor, and Bluetooth module enables voice-controlled movements. The primary goal is to empower users to independently select and consume meals, whether at a dining table or in bed. The system's adaptability, responsiveness, and versatility in serving three different food items mark a significant advancement in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with physical challenges, promoting autonomy in daily activities.
