The robotic device's electrodes are fused directly to the
bones and nerves of amputees
A postdoctoral student has developed a technique for
implanting thought-controlled robotic arms and their electrodes directly to the
bones and nerves of amputees, a move which he is calling "the future of
artificial limbs". The first volunteers will receive their new limbs early
in 2013.
