Using a few Python scripts, the movements inside Blender are translated to serial data in real-time, which is relayed to the Roboduino in order to control the arm.

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have enabled a paralysed man to regularly control a robotic arm using signals from his brain, transmitted via a computer.

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.

To improve accuracy, the participant practised using a virtual robotic arm that provided feedback on how closely his imagined movements matched the intended actions.

To improve accuracy, the participant practiced using a virtual robotic arm that provided feedback on how closely his imagined movements matched the intended actions.

The key breakthrough involved understanding how brain activity shifts from day to day when the participant repeatedly imagines making these movements. One of the study participants, who lost the ...

Okay, so we might have made most of that up, but the developer of the robotic arm really is an aerospace engineer, he really does have a broken wrist, and he really did create a voice-controlled ...

NASA’s next trip to the moon will explore its south pole, an area that gets even colder than Mars. So scientists need a robotic arm system that can function in temperatures as low as minus 280 F.
