Robotics & OT (1.5 PDUs)
Join us for this exciting presentation of robotics within occupational therapy with live demonstrations from two robotic devices, the Obi and Robin the Robot.
The Obi, an innovative assistive technology for independent eating, allows those with upper extremity limitations, as seen in ALS, SCI, AMC, CP, MD, MS, and other conditions, to eat with independence instead of relying on a caregiver. Through the use of customizable accessibility switches, Obi allows the user to control what they eat and when!
Robin the Robot is a mental health robot that was designed to distract children during times of medical stress and provide them comfort during medical procedures, during their hospital stays, trips to the dentist, or even cheering them on during their occupational therapy sessions.
