<\/div>Who’s Hungry?<\/h2>
This Thanksgiving, our robot overlords will only feed us if they feel we truly deserve each morsel of our traditional human meals.<\/p>
At least, that’s a grim interpretation of Arm-A-Dine, a semi-autonomous robotic third arm that gamifies Thanksgiving Dinner.<\/p>
Happy Meal<\/h2>
The robotic arm will feed whichever human looks happiest about their upcoming treat, reports<\/a> IEEE Spectrum<\/em>. After someone manually guides the chest-mounted robot toward a piece of food, it will grab the morsel and hold it in the air. If the person sitting across from the arm looks happy about the prospect of a snack, Arm-A-Dine will deliver it to their mouth. Yummy!<\/p> If that person actively frowns, the food will go to the person wearing the robotic arm<\/a>. If the person seems fairly neutral, Arm-A-Dine will wave the food back and forth before feeding it to a human mouth of the device’s choosing, according to research<\/a> published by Australian engineers at Melbourne’s RMIT University that will be presented at the human-robot interaction conference SIGCHI<\/a> this month.<\/p> Thankfully, IEEE Spectrum<\/em> mentions, Arm-A-Dine will avoid punching out your teeth by bringing the food about ten centimeters from your face.<\/p> Just like in “Hitch,” your feederbot will wait as long as it takes for you to come the last ten percent<\/a> and claim your reward.<\/p> READ MORE: <\/strong>Feed Your Friends With Autonomous Chest-Mounted Robot Arms<\/a> [IEEE Spectrum<\/em>]<\/p> More on augmentative robotics: New Prosthetic Limbs are More Interchangeable Than Ever<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p> The post A Wearable Robot Arm Makes You Work for Thanksgiving Leftovers<\/a> appeared first on Futurism<\/a>.<\/p> Visit link: Who\u2019s Hungry?
