FiMec tremor stabilization spoon: design and active stabilization control of two DoF robotic eating devices for hand tremor patients.

This article is about vibration-damping robotic eating devices designed for use by people who have difficulty in eating due to hand tremors due to neuromuscular system disorder. The robotic eating device has two degrees of freedom (DoF). It contains an active controller structure to absorb vibrations in the y- and z-directions.
