This Mind-Controlled Robotic Limb Lets You Multitask With Three Arms
Jul 31, 2018
If you’ve ever juggled a situation where two arms aren’t enough, you’re in luck! Thanks to a new study published in Science Robotics, humans have the ability to mind-control a robotic arm on a task—while using their biological limbs on a different one.
The possibilities are endless: no more juggling keys with grocery bags as you struggle to open the door. Or stop typing because you need a bite or a drink. Or trying to hold a ladder steady while climbing on top of it. Or scratching your nose while conducting an epic raid in World of Warcraft (yup, I speak from experience).
Because the brain-machine interface only requires an electrode cap, the technology could become a widespread blessing for the multitaskers among us.
A mind-controlled third arm is already cool enough. The fact that human brains have the ability to operate another limb as if born with it is even cooler. But there’s more: the study shows that wearing the arm can actually nurture the wearer’s own multitasking skills over time, even after ditching the extra limb.
“Multitasking tends to reflect a general ability for switching attention. If we can make people do that using brain-machine interface, we might be able to enhance human capability,” said study author Dr. Shuichi Nishio at the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International in Kyoto, Japan.
