Disclosed is a robotic arm (10) which is removably mounted to a wheelchair (12) preferably at least along one side of the wheelchair (12). Movement of the arm (10) is controlled by a joystick, although it can be controlled by any of the other control systems commonly used by disabled people. The arm (10) components (22) move in substantially the same fashion as a human arm. The joystick is used to activate four motors (30, 34, 36, 42) which control movement of the arm (10) in four different directions. |
