    Can You Lend Me a Hand? Researchers Are Developing Wearable Robotic Limbs

    Researchers are developing supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) that can be attached to the human body for human movement augmentation, unlike prosthetics that replace missing limbs. Existing SRLs are mostly experimental, controlled mainly by foot pedals, and brain-control approaches have low success rates. Research shows that with feedback provided by vibration motors and electrodes, people can learn the basic operation of controlling a third arm or a sixth finger in under an hour.

    MIT CSAIL releases X-Hinges design software that 3D-prints everyday objects into interactive devices with built-in sensing

    Researchers at MIT CSAIL and Tianjin University have introduced X-Hinges design software, which automatically embeds two different materials when 3D-printing interactive objects, allowing sensor signals and wire-like traces to avoid interfering with each other, and supports up to three axes of motion. The team used it to make a smart glove that transmits grasp-motion data to a humanoid robotic hand, an origami-style desk lamp that senses pinching to adjust brightness, and a detection device that can identify the objects placed on it, and used a computer vision system to align sensor-reading differences among devices from the same batch. The work will be presented at UIST.

    Eve of BrainGPT? Monolith closed-door salon discusses what brain-computer interfaces still lack for a product leap

    On August 29, Monolith held a closed-door brain-computer interface salon with various parties, summarizing several observations on where brain-computer technology stands and what it still lacks for a product leap. The article notes that technology routes have diverged into invasive electrodes, EEG, brain surface, vascular intervention, electronic skin, ultrasound, and others, and the market has not yet converged; brain data faces a data wall where quality, scale, and diversity are difficult to achieve simultaneously, and although public EEG data has accumulated to tens of TB, metadata is not standardized, and the industry has no consensus on whether to first solve acquisition or first understand existing signals.
