Obi Robot is proud to be a contracted vendor on the Federal Supply Schedule, which means that qualifying Veterans may receive Obi at no cost.
We are honored to work with the Veterans Health Administration network to provide independent eating to our Veterans!
Obi’s award-winning design promotes ease of use and low equipment abandonment. Obi accommodates all levels of technology literacy.
No complex setup or programming is needed. Obi automates scooping, wiping, and repositioning the food. Sit back and relax, Obi knows what to do!
Multiple-size spoons, multi-directional scooping, and smooth motion allow the Veteran to eat what they want, when they want, and how they want. Our utensils are designed to allow for the most successful food delivery.
Obi is the only assistive technology intended to restore functional eating with a medical device safety and quality certification.
We are the leaders in robotic self-feeding, serving over 600 Veterans since 2019 with an FSS Contract and thousands of other individuals worldwide.
All devices are proudly manufactured with the utmost quality and care in our own facility in Jacksonville, Florida USA.

David H.’s Testimony
“Having ALS for this many years, every 6 to 12 months I have to reinvent myself… Obi sits in the co-pilots chair down in man-town. We take it to restaurants and different people’s houses. Having something like Obi, to me, keeps me motivated, to keep going, to do something. I feel like I was chosen with this diagnosis because I believe I can make a difference.”
– David H.
U.S. Veteran David J. Uses Obi
“Today my husband David received his Obi feeder from the VA -ALS. We call it David’s Obi-Wan, his Star Wars companion. It is the coolest thing ever. It helps David feed himself. I have been having to feed him for the past almost month now mostly, he can’t use silverware due to the motion…. He used it first time tonight for supper and it worked so well. And it was great having his daughter here to share this joy for her dad to be able to feed himself again.”
– Peggy, David’s Wife

“I’m a US Navy Veteran with ALS and recently received my Obi. As a result of eating with Obi’s assistance, I’ve been able to maintain my weight and, of equal importance to me, I’m able to eat independently and enjoy dining with my family. Please know Obi is much more than a product you sell; Obi is a means to independence and restored joy while eating.”
