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 ...

As artificial intelligence advances, future prosthetic arms may be able to move on their own to assist users with daily tasks. But for these devices to be truly helpful, people must feel comfortable ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
