Breakthrough in mind-controlled robotics: paralyzed man controls robotic arm with his thoughts
A revolutionary device has enabled a paralyzed man to control a robotic arm using only his brain signals. The remarkable achievement was published in the scientific journal Cell last Thursday.
The mechanism, developed by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, allowed the man to grasp, move, and release objects simply by imagining the actions.
The device, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI), functioned for an unprecedented seven months without needing adjustments. Previous BCIs only worked for one or two days.
Neurologist Karunesh Ganguly, the study’s author, studied how brain activity patterns in animals represent specific movements and found that these representations changed daily as the animal learned. This led to suspicions that the same was true for humans.
Based on this research, Ganguly created an artificial intelligence model that could understand this learning process, allowing the device to function for an extended period. Currently, he is refining the AI models to make the robotic arm move faster and smoother.
The ultimate goal is to test the BCI in a domestic environment, enabling people with paralysis to feed themselves or drink water with greater autonomy.
Researchers are pushing the boundaries of mind-controlled technology, and this breakthrough could have a significant impact on the lives of people with paralysis.
