Northeastern University students develop eye controlled robotic arm that’s happy to feed you As an alternative to receiving brain implants for robotic arm dominance assistance, check out this surprisingly cheap eye-tracking solution developed by six electrical engineering students at Northeastern University. Labeled iCRAFT, for eye Controlled Robotic Arm Feeding Technology, the award-winning senior project drew its inspiration from one team member’s difficulty syncing spoonfuls with the eating pace of elderly and disabled patients.
