A paralyzed man moved his robotic arm just by imagining doing so

March 8, 2025: Scientists have achieved a groundbreaking achievement in the field of neuroscience and robotics. Life is about to be a bit easier for paralyzed people in terms of not having to depend on others to move. Researchers at UC San Francisco have developed something so stunning that enabled a man to move his robotic arms just by his thoughts.



He could drop, move and grasp objects just by imagining himself by performing the actions.



The device, known as Brain Computer Interface, surpassing all the previous records of such devices, worked for a straight 7 months without needing to be adjusted.



This technology has the potential to restore independence and autonomy to individuals with paralysis or other motor disorders, enabling them to perform daily tasks and interact with their environment in new ways.



The researchers plan to conduct further clinical trials to refine the technology and explore its potential for use in a variety of applications, including wheelchair control.
