Seventeen Years of Silence Broken
The University of Utah has conducted the first at-home trial of a neural-connected robotic arm, used by a person who lost their arm 17 years ago. The technology relies on a neural interface that allows for realistic movement of the arm and sensing of touch, restoring the user’s ability to perform daily tasks such as writing and cooking. It also includes actions like holding his wife’s hand and receiving sensations of pressure and touch. The experiment, which will last a year with a potential extension, aims to evaluate the effectiveness and stability of the technology outside the laboratory, alongside improving the quality of life for prosthetic users.
