A monkey controls a robot from a distance with its mind

Posted on 03/06/2010 by vabry in Prototypes
An incredible demonstration by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States: a monkey managed to move an articulated robotic arm by using only its mind. The use of control by the mind with sensors in the brain is not a world first, but it still has an effect. All the more so in this case; it's definitely one of the most advanced manipulations that exist: the robotic arm has 7 degrees of freedom. In the experiment, the monkey catches the black object by moving the articulated arm only with its mind and the electrodes linked to its brain.
