Universal Tipper
Design a kitchen aid to be used by individuals with fine-motor impairments, particularly aimed towards those with high-level spinal injuries, to improve their range of motion, reduce hand strain, and reduce risk of cooking injuries such as burns.
Concept
- Increased the versatility of an existing kettle tipper concept through allowing users to adjust height and holding size, allowing containers of all sizes to be placed in the tipper.
- Implemented ergonomic operating handles that requires little to no wrist rotation and minimal force.
Process
- Performed a needs analysis, spoke with stakeholders.
- Sketched a Free-body diagram and calculated the engineering analysis.
Result
- Created a low-medium fidelity prototype.
- Performed sensor-testing and data analysis.
- Communicated the results though a formal report.
- Pitched and presented the design.
