He was able to grasp, move, and release objects simply by imagining himself performing the actions. The device, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI), functioned successfully for a record seven ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have enabled a man who is paralyzed to control a robotic arm that receives signals from his brain via a computer. He was able to grasp, move and drop objects just by ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco (UCSF) have created a device that allowed a paralyzed man to control a robotic arm through his thoughts. The study, which was funded by the National Institute of Health ...

What if building a robotic arm didn’t require a massive budget or a team of engineers? Imagine a device capable of delivering smooth, precise movements for studio applications, constructed for less ...

The arm uses origami for its construction. Lightweight plastic is folded in construction. The arm is designed to assist people with disabilities. WORCESTER — When someone envisions a robotic arm, they ...

A robotic arm that moves too quickly can feel creepy. One that moves too slowly feels awkward and unhelpful. In a VR study, researchers found that AI-powered prosthetic arms were best accepted when ...

Soon, a flexible octopus-like robot could be completely free of wires or internal electronics. Engineers at Rice University have unveiled a new soft robotic arm controlled by laser beams.

When AI powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept them will be crucial. In ...

Researchers have enabled a man who is paralyzed to control a robotic arm through a device that relays signals from his brain to a computer. He was able to grasp, move and drop objects just by ...
