Johns Hopkins APL, TNO Sign Memorandum of Understanding on Collaborative Research and Technology Development
Robert “Buz” Chmielewski is using two modular prosthetic limbs developed by Johns Hopkins APL to feed himself dessert. Smart software puts his utensils in roughly the right spot, and then Buz uses his brain signals to cut the food with knife and fork. Once he is done cutting, the software then brings the food near his mouth, where he again uses brain signals to bring the food the last several inches to his mouth so he can eat it. Such human-machine interface systems are one of several disciplines that will be fostered through the recently signed memorandum of understanding between APL and TNO.
