In a world where brand loyalty is not always a sure thing anymore, companies are doing all they can to keep their current (and future) customers within their ecosystem or at least theirs and their partners’ ecosystem. Samsung UK is trying to do that by launching a new bundle of premium services for owners of the Galaxy S21 flagship line and probably future flagship devices. Samsung Boost will complement existing Samsung services by giving premium services from partners like Adobe and Google.
Samsung Boost will be available for customers in the UK and Ireland as long as they have the Galaxy S21 5G models and for those who will buy the flagship line until October 31, 2021. It is basically a collection of premium services that will be useful for those enjoying the digital lifestyle. It is also expected to partner or complement Samsung services like Samsung Health, Samsung Pay and SmartThings.
This brain-controlled robotic arm can twist, catch and feel
The brain is bidirectional: it takes in information while it sends signals to the rest of the body, telling it to act. A movement that seems as easy as taking a glass also calls to the brain to control the muscles in the hand and
listen to the nerves of the fingers.
Since Copeland’s brain was not injured in the accident, he could still, in theory, handle this input and output conversation. But most of the electrical messages from the nerves in his body did not reach the brain. When the Pittsburgh team hired him for his studies, they wanted to design a solution. They believed that the brain of a paralyzed person could stimulate the robotic arm and could be stimulated by the electrical signals received from it, ultimately interpreting that stimulation as feeling touched in their hands. The challenge was to make everything natural. The robotic wrist would have to be twisted when Copeland wanted to twist it; he had to clos
