Successfully developed an artificial arm that can feel real

Currently, this artificial arm has reached almost 100% accuracy after testing.

Successfully fabricated artificial arms

DARPA - Advanced Defense Projects Agency under the US Department of Defense - has completed the development of artificial arms for people with disabilities with the ability to feel like normal arms. The first person to use the arm is a 28-year-old spinal injury patient who has been paralyzed for nearly 10 years, this prosthetic arm will be signaled to the patient's brain so he can feel himself. What is touching.

Feel with artificial hands, why not?

Justin Sanchez, director of the development program, said the control of artificial parts has actually taken a new step when feedback from the contact surface has been analyzed in a more specific way and created issue something called "artificial senses" to support patients more effectively. Clinical trials through the attachment of electrodes to the cortex of volunteers participating in the study showed positive results when the signal transmitted to the brain was relatively stable and did not cause side effects. Currently, this artificial arm has reached almost 100% accuracy after testing.

The artificial arm, which was designed by John Hopkins University's robot lab and DARPA, added the ability to transmit sensory signals from physical collisions for it to make a breakthrough for the medical industry. Future learning, especially those related to rehabilitation for patients with disabilities. The part that plays an important role in this study is the torque sensors that can detect the pressure exerted on the surface of this artificial arm.
