They create a system that uses the mind to control mechanical arms

Most of us when we think about technology we usually do it in our computers, smartphones, televisions and many other gadgets that we use in our day to day, however we rarely think about how technology can benefit people who, unfortunately, have lost a part of your body.

Scientists at John Hopkins University have managed to create a system that reads brain functions and uses them to move robotic arms, allowing its wearer to move them at will as if they were his own flesh-and-blood arms. In this case it is Leslie Baugh, a man who had both arms amputated and now thanks to technology he can do many of the things we all do every day. The system is still under development and has some limitations, for example you cannot do several movements simultaneously, but it is certainly a very important step.

From here I want to congratulate and thank all those who have made it possible and encourage them to continue improving the system to improve the lives of those who may need it one day.
