Human, AI and Robotics: Man Walks With Aid of Brain-Controlled Robotic Legs for the First Time

Human, AI and Robotics: Man Walks With Aid of Brain-Controlled Robotic Legs for the First Time | leapmind | Scoop.it

Walking on a treadmill is no great feat, unless your legs are being moved by a robotic device connected to your brain. A new brain-computer interface allows a person to walk using a pair of mechanical leg braces controlled by brain signals (above), as reported on arXiv. The device has only been tested on able-bodied people, and while it has limitations, it lays a foundation for helping people with paralysis walk again. The new device — developed by researchers at the Long Beach Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the University of California, Irvine – is controlled by electroencephalogram, or EEG, signals generated by small voltage fluctuations in the brain. The method is completely noninvasive, as the signals are measured by a cap worn on the scalp.

This article/website shows the use of robotic limbs already being experimented with, this technology will change lives drastically, soon people will be able to have these robotic legs, arms you name it and they will be able to control these instruments with there brains , this technology is slowly starting to emerge now, but should likely take off in five to ten years, changing the lives of people who have lost there limbs or are have a disability.

cassian bulger's curator insight, March 22, 8:17 AM

The article shows the use of robotic limbs that are currently being experimented with this is an amazing technology for people that have lost there arms or legs and previously nothing could be done to restore function to the severed arm or leg. The release of medical robotics such as this will surley affect many lives around the world now and in the future where the advances in medical robotics can only improve.

Jared Broker's curator insight, June 18, 9:02 PM

I think we are seeing consciousness merge with technology at a much more rapid page than is being predicted.  Mind directed technology, images from the mind, robotics, and computer neural networks are coming together rapidly.
