Our take
A power wheelchair that comes with its own helping hand: that is the idea behind RAMMP from the startup ATDev. As the company describes it, RAMMP pairs a power wheelchair with a coordinated robotic arm on an open software platform, so users can reach, lift and fetch things without waiting for a caregiver. What stands out is the independence angle, because small tasks like grabbing a cup add up. The Design News piece is a short video interview with the founder, so it is a first look rather than a product review. We have not tested RAMMP, and availability is not something we can confirm.
Who it may help: Power wheelchair users who want more independence with reaching and carrying.
