Noninvasive Mind Controlled Robotic Arm
Mind Over Matter with No Surgery
Electrode Cape
A new, noninvasive electrode cap - a brain computer interface (BCI) - enables the person wearing it to control a robotic arm by their thoughts. It's breakthrough technology invented by engineers at Carnegie Mellon University. It's the world's first, noninvasive mind controlled robotic arm. No brain surgery or brain implants are involved.
Helping Those With Mobility Issues
The BCI system was developed with the goal of it helping people with mobility issues. The electrode loaded cap can sense the brain's activity through the scalp. The Brain Computer Interface cap is able to make the robotic arm continuously and smoothly track and follow a computer curser by conveying the thoughts of the person. To develop this system the team used novel sensing and machine learning techniques.
Pervasive Assistive Technology
The engineering team believe the BCI system could become a pervasive, assistive technology aiding everyone like the smartphone. It's been successfully tested in 68 people in as many as 10 sessions each.
