매력적인 선물 '세번 째 팔 로봇' VIDEO: Chest-mounted robot that acts as a third arm feeds people when they're too full to move

A gift for the truly greedy! Chest-mounted robot that acts as a third arm feeds people when they're too full to move

The peculiar 'Arm-A-Dine' robot arm attaches to the middle of someone's chest 

Robot is designed to augment the social experience of eating, researchers say

The arms move up and down by themselves but don't go all the way to the mouth 

Instead, they stop ten centimetres away 'for safety reasons', researchers say

Scientists have created a strange chest-mounted robot that could feed the greediest of people when they're too full to move.

The peculiar 'Arm-A-Dine' robot arm attaches to the middle of someone's chest and takes food from their plate to their mouth.

The robot, which is still just a prototype, is designed to augment the social experience of eating, researchers say.

The robotic arm was created by Exertion Games Lab at RMIT University in Australia and the Indian Institute of Information Technology Design.

'Arm-A-Dine is our design exploration of a novel two-person playful eating system that focuses on a shared feeding experience', researchers told Spectrum.

'In this experience, all three arms (the person’s own two arms and the “third” arm, the robotic arm) are used for feeding oneself and the other person.'
