Revolutionary Implants Enable Paralyzed Man to Walk Again.
TL;DR
A paraplegic patient was able to walk using an AI-based "digital bridge" developed by researchers at the University of California, Irvine. The technology uses a brain-computer interface to interpret the patient's intentions and control a robotic exoskeleton. The patient was able to walk more than 100 meters over the course of several sessions. The researchers hope the technology can be used to improve rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injuries.
