Created by robotics company Kinova, the JACO is an assistive robot arm capable of performing functions such as picking up a glass of water. 

Designed to be mounted onto a motorized wheelchair, the assistive robot arm features six-axis movement to “achieve what was once impossible”.

Powered by the motorized wheelchair’s battery, the JACO can be controlled with a joystick, sip-and-puff, head control, head array system or interface.

Made from carbon fibre, the assistive robot arm is durable and weather-resistant.
