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 ...

Neuroscientists have shown how amputees can learn to control a robotic arm through electrodes implanted in the brain. The research details changes that take place in both sides of the brain used to ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota claim to have made a significant breakthrough in the field of neural interfaces by creating a system which allows people to control a robotic arm using just ...

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).

If you want to control a robot with your mind — and really, who doesn’t? — you currently have two options. You can get a brain implant, in which case your control over the robot will be smooth and ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, enabling individuals with paralysis to control robotic devices through thought ...

[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 ...

[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 ...

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 ...
