Using a few Python scripts, the movements inside Blender are translated to serial data in real-time, which is relayed to the Roboduino in order to control the arm.

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have enabled a paralysed man to regularly control a robotic arm using signals from his brain, transmitted via a computer.

NASA’s next trip to the moon will explore its south pole, an area that gets even colder than Mars. So scientists need a robotic arm system that can function in temperatures as low as minus 280 F.

To improve accuracy, the participant practiced using a virtual robotic arm that provided feedback on how closely his imagined movements matched the intended actions.
