This trial is recruiting individuals who use a power wheelchair as their primary means of mobility to test the effectiveness of a wheelchair-mounted robotic arm to complete daily tasks. Once the user moves the assistive robotic manipulator (ARM) device close to an object, the device is able to recognize the object and take over with fine movements to complete the task. Eligible participants will learn and practice complex tasks while using the vision-guided controller, and will complete a number of everyday tasks. Speed and accuracy of movements will be measured.
