Researchers have developed a robotic arm that has enabled a paralyzed woman to drink a cup of coffee -- by directly controlling it with her mind. The development has raised the question of whether this approach could perhaps restore some mobility to similarly affected people in the future. The 58-year-old woman was one of two participants in the BrainGate 2 project who controlled a robotic arm with their thoughts. Implants the size of baby aspirin tablets in the subjects' brains let them control the robotic arms.
