Researchers at the University of South Florida have developed a wheelchair-mounted robotic arm that captures the user’s brain waves and converts them into robotic movements.
The device uses an electrode-covered head cap to capture brainwave (p-wave) responses and convert them into action, such as “typing” or manipulating a robotic finger. Useful for paraplegics, amputees, or individuals with other disabilities, this “smart wheelchair” allows users to pilot the chair without any physical movement whatsoever.
