Canada: Taken from acquisition worksheet: Kinova was founded in 2006 by Charles Deguire (CEO) and Louis-Joseph Caron L’Écuyer (CTO), who developed and marketed an assistive robotic arm for people with upper-body and mobility disabilities. The robotic arm compensates for the loss of mobility of users of wheelchairs who have mobility challenges with the use of upper limbs. Jacques Forest (19xx-1993) lived with muscular dystrophy and could only use his left thumb. He designed the Manipulo Arm to assist him in carrying out his daily tasks. Inspired by Jacques’ perseverance and ingenuity, his nephew, Charles Deguire, the co-founder of Kinova – named this technical aid “JACO” in his uncle’s honour.
Function: Assistive device mounted to a wheelchair to help people with upper-body and mobility disabilities to perform complex actions.
Technical: Taken from acquisition worksheet: The device is a six-axis robotic manipulator arm with a three-fingered hand designed to be installed on the side of a wheelchair. Its controls are adapted to suit the individual's specific needs.
