Also known as spherical robots, these robots have a base and an arm with one joint that moves back and forth, and two rotary joints that spin. This setup lets them work in a sphere-like work envelope.

Sep 7, 2021 · In a new study published in Science Robotics, a Cleveland Clinic-led research team reports that it has engineered a first-of-kind neurorobotic prosthetic arm for patients with upper-limb amputations that allows wearers to think, behave and …

Oct 13, 2016 · A DARPA-funded research team has demonstrated for the first time in a human a technology that allows an individual to experience the sensation of touch directly in the brain through a neural interface system connected to a robotic arm.

Aug 1, 2023 · A prosthetic arm that connects directly to the nervous system gives the user fine control over the motions of individual fingers—just by thinking and trying to move.

Dec 18, 2014 · Now, a woman with quadriplegia has been able to remotely move a robot arm with signals from her brain. She has even been able to use the mind-controlled robotic arm to pick up and move objects. The woman who got to test the new …

Mar 6, 2025 · Researchers at UC San Francisco have enabled a man who is paralyzed to control a robotic arm through a device that relays signals from his brain to a computer. He was able to grasp, move and drop objects just by imagining himself performing the actions.

Sep 11, 2015 · The robotic arm is connected by wires that link up to the wearer’s motor cortex—the part of the brain that controls muscle movement—and sensory cortex, which identifies tactile sensations ...

May 27, 2022 · In this study, a Back Propagation (BP) neural network algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization is proposed to plan and optimize the trajectory of a redundant robotic arm for the upper limb rehabilitation of patients. The feasibility of the trajectory was verified by numerical simulations.

Feb 25, 2025 · The brain-chip company, founded by Elon Musk, has unveiled an ambitious project that aims to connect its neural implant, the N1, to an experimental robotic limb, potentially transforming the lives of people with paralysis.
