🥄 The little spoon that could
Images: Aarrav Anil
Ten years ago, Aarrav Anil received his first Lego set. And he's been obsessed with all things building and robotics ever since.
Case in point: The 17-year-old has represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world.
When kitchenware meets robotics: Aarrav's most recent project is the spoon you see above👆. The device uses a series of motors, sensors, and electronics to help combat the often-intense tremors brought on by Parkinson's disease while eating.
- Aarav got the idea of the utensil after seeing his Uncle with Parkinsons struggle to feed himself last year.
👀 Looking ahead... The "smart spoon" is currently undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
