Sentences with phrase «robotic arms and hands»

Not exact matches

At the core of this project is a cutting - edge robotic hand and arm developed in the BioRobotics Laboratory in FAU's College of Engineering and Computer Science.

Through a clinical collaboration between Caltech, Keck Medicine of USC and Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, the now 34 - year - old Sorto is the first person in the world to have a neural prosthetic device implanted in a region of the brain where intentions are made, giving him the ability to perform a fluid hand - shaking gesture, drink a beverage, and even play «rock, paper, scissors,» using a robotic arm.

Now, Sorto is able to execute advanced tasks with his mind, such as controlling a computer cursor; drinking a beverage; making a hand - shaking gesture; and performing various tasks with the robotic arm.

«The goal of robotic arm is to help doctors perform certain procedures many times faster than if they were only using their hands and with increased accuracy.

We are also dedicated not only to enabling control over computers or robotic assistive devices, but — for people with spinal cord injury or stroke — working toward the goal of reconnecting brain to limb, allowing the powerful intracortical signals to activate fully implanted functional electrical stimulation devices, and re-enabling intuitive movement of one's own arm and hand.»

Computers then translate those signals into digital commands that have allowed users to control electronic devices such as computers and robotic arms by simply intending to move their own arm or hand.

In a clinical trial, the Caltech team and colleagues from Keck Medicine of USC have successfully implanted just such a device in a patient with quadriplegia, giving him the ability to perform a fluid hand - shaking gesture and even play «rock, paper, scissors» using a separate robotic arm.

Using an array of hair - thin electrodes implanted in his brain, a 25 - year - old quadriplegic man was able to operate a computer, open and close a prosthetic hand, and manipulate a robotic arm just by thinking about it, according to a new study.

«They will perform these tasks with their impaired hand and / or arm, or while using a robotic arm.

CNC machining — a reductive milling process in which robotic arms carve material away based on points plotted on a 3D grid — allows artists and designers to work on a large scale; the technology can also carve surfaces in ways that would not be possible by hand.

The first death of a human being at the hands of a robot, albeit not one with artificial intelligence of any sort, occurred in 1979 when a robotic arm at a Ford factory struck and killed a worker.
