AbstractEating is a basic need for humans. In fact, it is so basic that most people are not aware of the motions that they use while eating. For some physically disabled people, eating can be laborious or a bit embarrassing since they must rely on a caretaker to feed them. “My Spoon” is a meal-assistance device designed to assist these people during meals. Its basic concept is to allow a user to “eat a meal freely, at any pace and choosing favorite foods in any desired order.” By using My Spoon, it is now possible to eat together with friends and family. After several trials and prototypes [3, 4, 5], My Spoon has been marketed in Japan since May 2002.
