Robot Arm Controlled with Thought
This is so Star Wars and I am totally loving it.
Scientists in the US have created a robotic arm that can be controlled by thought alone.via Gizmodo via The Raw Feed via BBC
Developed at the University of Pittsburgh, it has a fully mobile shoulder and elbow and a gripper that works like a hand.
In early tests, monkeys had tiny probes inserted into their brains and had their limbs restrained - but were then able to manipulate the robotic arm
The monkeys in the experiment were able to grasp and hold food with the robotic arm while their real arms were restrained.
