The HelpingHand can be used with a variety of applications, with our simple design the arm can be easily mounted on a wall or a rover. With the simple controls any user will find using the HelpingHand easy and intuitive. Our high speed video camera will allow the user to see the arm and its environment so users can remotely control our hand.
