Obi — Eat independently, on your terms

Obi is a robotic self-feeding device designed for people with upper extremity limitations. It sits on your table or wheelchair tray and uses a robotic arm with a spoon to scoop food from four separate compartments and deliver it directly to your mouth — all controlled by you, using any body part that can activate a switch.

One switch selects your food compartment, another commands the delivery. Obi can be trained in seconds to stop the spoon at exactly the right height for your mouth. It's quiet, portable (about the size of a laptop), and water resistant — meaning it goes wherever you do, including restaurants.

• Four food compartments — keep your food separated or mix it up
• Compatible with any switch using a 3.5mm headphone jack adapter — sip-and-puff, head switch, light touch, and more
• Collision detection stops the arm if anything is in the way
• Dishwasher-safe tray, placemat, and spoon — easy cleanup
• Portable and laptop-sized — works at home, at a restaurant, or anywhere
• FDA Class I medical device, SGS safety certified
• Veterans can receive Obi at no cost through the VA Federal Supply Schedule
• Insurance and Medicaid reimbursement possible — the Obi team assists with funding
