Automatic Chopsticks

thingiverse

These Automatic chopsticks were inspired by William Osman. Never before have chopsticks been so easy to use. They incorporate a handle cut from a plastic fork. Using a Distance Sensor and an Arduino Nano, These chopsticks will automatically close when food is within range and open after it has been eaten.
