Researchers have made a major breakthrough that allows people to control a robotic arm using only their minds. The research has the potential to help millions of people who are paralyzed or have ...

[Ray Kampmeier] just finished writing some code to allow him to control his robotic arm using force-sensitive hand gestures! He calls it the Robo Marionette. He’s using a MeArm 4 DOF robotic arm, a ...

A team of Stanford researchers has developed a novel way to control assistive robotic arms that is both more intuitive and faster than existing approaches. New AI enabled robot controllers allowed ...

What if you gave a plant control of a robotic arm… and then gave that robotic arm a machete? That’s the pressing question explored by robotics artist David Bowen, the creator of an installation called ...

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have measured neural firing in the motor cortices of two tetraplegic subjects using intracortical electrodes (electrodes implanted directly into the brain).

A soft armband that lets you steer a robot while you sprint on a treadmill or bob on rough seas sounds like science fiction. Engineers at the University of California San Diego have now built ...

Benjamin Gray has created an open source pocket sized robotic arm that has been specifically built to be easy to build and simple to control. Now he would like to take into production his new ...

[Ryan Lloyd], [Sandeep Dhull], and [Ruben D’Sa] wrote in to share a robotics project they have been keeping busy with lately. The three University of Minnesota students are using a Kinect sensor to ...

Want proof that you don't need big, specialized equipment to produce a mind-controlled robot arm? Just look at a recent University of Toronto student project. Ryan Mintz and crew have created an arm ...

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has been on the hunt for a more natural way to maneuver robots in space for some time now, resulting in cool experiments like using a Leap Motion controller to ...

The world's first heart operation using a remote-controlled robotic arm was performed on a British patient in Leicester. Dr Andre Ng used a Catheter Robotics Remote Catheter Manipulation System on ...
