Robotic Arm for Opening and Closing Doors

Computer Science doctoral candidate Katherine Tsui demonstrates DORA, the low-cost Door-Opening Robot Arm developed by Erin Rapacki at the UMass Lowell Robotics Lab to help people with physical disabilities open and close doors. DORA, which is mounted on a motorized wheelchair, has a special gripper that can unlatch a variety of door knobs and handles in both clockwise and counterclockwise direction using only one motor. Erin graduated this year with a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering. Her project was funded through Prof. Holly Yanco's National Science Foundation (NSF) Career grant.
