Robotic anchor will get a grip on space rocks
To recover the riches embedded in asteroids, as the recently launched Planetary Ventures aims to do, miners will first need to latch their drills onto the surface of the space rocks. NASA scientists are at work on a robotic gripper that appears up to the task.
Paralyzed woman masters mind-controlled robotic arm
Cathy Hutchinson is one of two patients undergoing a trial of the BrainGate neural interface, a system designed to transmit paralyzed patients' thoughts into commands.
Paralyzed woman moves robotic arm with her thoughts
A paralyzed Massachusetts lady picked up a bottle of coffee and sipped from it by moving a robotic arm with her thoughts, researchers reported Wednesday — the latest advance in the race to restore movement to people who have lost control of their muscles. Read full article >>
Paralysed Woman Controls Robotic Arm With Mind
A paralysed lady has used mind control to move a robotic arm - and taken a sip from a drink.
Paralyzed woman uses thoughts to move robotic arm
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Using just her thoughts, a 58-year-old paralyzed lady instructed a robotic arm to grasp a cup of coffee and guide it to her mouth where she sipped from a straw, the first drink she has been able to serve herself in 15 years. The lady is one of two patients in the ongoing trial of BrainGate neural interface, an experimental brain-computer interface technology that may one ...
Brain-Controlled Robotic Arm Points Way to New Prosthetics
In April 2011, a paralyzed lady named Cathy Hutchinson lifted a cup for the first time in nearly 15 years, using a robotic arm controlled by her thoughts.
Brain Chip Helps Quadriplegics Move Robotic Arms with Their Thoughts
It's the first study to show that brain chips can assist paralyzed people to perform complex real-world tasks. A paralyzed patient equipped with an implanted brain chip has been able to use a robotic arm to reach for and pick up a bottle of coffee, bring it close enough to her face so she could drink from a straw, and then place the bottle back on the table.
Woman Moves Robotic Arm With Mind
Cathy Hutchinson, who is paralyzed from a stroke, used a mind-controlled robotic arm to drink from a bottle. It is a system called BrainGate, which used a tiny implanted sensor in the brain to send signals to the muscles, bypassing damaged nerves.
Paralyzed Woman Controls Robotic Arm With Her Mind
Two stroke victims unable to move or talk can now control robotic arms with their minds.
