In order for robots to operate safely around humans, they need to see that people are approaching and they need to know when ...

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.

Robotic arms help to shorten this recovery period significantly. The precision of robotic-assisted surgery results in less physical trauma, allowing for faster healing, Dr Mishra shares.

Specifically, S3 and T2 controlled the arms to reach for and grasp foam targets that were placed in front of them using flexible supports.

Robotics engineers at WPI are using the art of origami to create a safer, more user-friendly robotic arm for potential home use.
