The following article presents a prototype for an electrical claw system attachable to Canadian canes. This project occurs at the Fundação Escola Técnica Liberato Salzano Vieira da Cunha in Novo Hamburgo with the intent of figuring out if there was a way of developing a device attachable to Canadian canes to help users with motor deficiency on the leg retrieve belonging on the floor. The knowledge necessary for this project was based on mechanical engineering knowledge of pulleys and electronic knowledge of motors and the prototyping platform Arduino. The research had two phases: the software prototyping and planning and the construction of the prototype. We were able to conclude the prototype, although there remains a big space for improvement soon.
