Bionic innovation – controlling robots with the mind

Bionic innovation – controlling robots with the mind
In a unique experiment DLR has collaborated with partners in the United States to enable a quadriplegic patient to control a lightweight DLR robot with her thoughts. The RMC is also using an innovative learning method for robotically supported rehabilitation. At AUTOMATICA, the researchers are demonstrating how measuring muscle activity is sufficient for controlling a robot with a hand in order to move and grip with agility and great precision.
