Researchers have made a breakthrough in neural interfaces by creating a system which allows people to control a robotic arm using just their thoughts.

A man with partial paralysis was able operate a robotic arm when he used a non-invasive brain device partially controlled by artificial intelligence (AI), a study reports 1. The AI-enabled device also ...

A paralyzed man was able to move a robotic arm and fingers simply by imagining himself doing so, with the help of brain signals decoded through a computer.

Researchers at UC San Francisco have enabled a man who is paralyzed to control a robotic arm through a device that relays signals from his brain to a computer.

Traditionally, robot arms have been controlled either by joysticks, buttons, or very carefully programmed routines. However, for [Narongporn Laosrisin’s] homebrew build, they decided to go wi… ...

[Eric Gregori] had an OWI535 toy robotic arm. Although cheap (coming it at around $30) the arm is only set up to be used via a wired control box. [Eric] knew he could do better by adding computer ...

These electrodes would work in tandem with the electrodes already in his brain that the brain-computer interface system used to control the robotic arm.
