About
There are millions of Americans that are DeafBlind; they cannot see OR hear. There are another 150M+ people globally living with severe deafblindness. The primary language of those with deafblindness is a tactile sign language. In tactile sign languages, the person with deafblindness places their hands over their communication partner's hand as the communication partner signs. In this way, the DeafBlind person is able to feel the sign language to understand the message being relayed. Because of this interaction with their communication partner, those with severe deafblindness currently have no means of independently communicating via tactile sign.\n\nTatum Robotics will give the millions of DeafBlind individuals access to the abled world’s resources through their primary and often only conversational language, tactile sign. Addressing an unmet need, this novel humanoid robotic system translates spoken or text based mediums into sign language that the DeafBlind community uses to communicate.
