Brain-controlled arm
The robotic arm is fully controlled by the user's mind and is dexterous enough to pick up a glass and drink a drink without the help of others. The creator of this robotic arm a research team with members from institutions such as Caltech, in which a neural chip was implanted in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) of Sorto's brain.
The location of this robotic arm control chip implantation is different from the previous implantation location of other paralyzed user-controlled robotic arms. normally, this control chip implantation location is the area of the brain that controls the muscles, while the PPC is the area that controls our intention to act, move, and allow the robotic arm controlled by Erik Sorto to move more fluidly and naturally. all Erik Sorto had to do was think about what he intended to do what and, with a lot of practice, be able to make the robotic arm perform the task he is thinking about.
Rubber robot arm
Scientists have developed a rubber robot arm that can grab ants instead of squeezing them. This robotic arm is still in the development stage, scientists dip the wire into liquid silicone rubber, wait for it to solidify and then pull out the wire to get a 5-8mm long, hair-thin tentacle. Tentacle internal divided into many small lattice, through the flow of compressed air to make a variety of movements, can be harmless to hold up the waist of ants.
Scientists believe that this tentacle will be useful in the future, not to catch ants for fun, of course, but to perform sophisticated heart and embryonic vascular surgery, for example.
