Researchers Create Mind-Reading Robotic Arm Giving Amputees Real-Time Tactile Control

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, in 2019, created a system that enables amputees to operate a robotic arm using their brain impulses rather than their muscles. Researchers developed a tiny, implantable device that connects to the peripheral nerve in the person's arm. When coupled with a robotic arm and an AI computer, the technology can detect and decipher brain impulses, enabling upper limb amputees to move the arm only with their thoughts.
