Technology is moving on apace, and innovative progress is being made in many crucial areas, including the future of prosthetics. For amputees, this is fantastic news, with the promise of new, cutting-edge neuro-controlled limbs becoming more widely available. While the technology which enables amputees to control an artificial limb using only the power of their mind has been in existence for a few years now, only until recently was it possible to achieve this through the use of implanted sensors inside the patient's brain.
Neurogress is now pioneering a new and exciting neural technology which enables amputees to control their replacement limb using only a wearable neural interface which requires no risky and invasive surgery. Neurogress is not only working on making this advanced product accessible at an affordable price, but also on developing its many other potential uses including pairing with VR gadgets, neural control of robots and gaming applications.
Two terms which are being used more frequently as we move into a more technologically advanced future are “blockchain” and “IoT” (otherwise known as the Internet of Things). Although these terms may not be widely understood, and maybe even completely unknown in certain circles, they are key to progression in the field of machine learning.
So, what is the Internet of Things, and what does blockchain have to do with it?
IoT is based on a fairly simple principle – the connection of devices over the internet, and their ability to talk to each other, to applications and even to us. One example is the “smart fridge” which can tell its owner when they have run out of milk by sending a text to their smartphone as soon as its internal camera sees that there is none left on the shelf. Another more common and more practical use is in the form of a connected heating system where users can switch their heating on or off remotely, or adjust the temperature without actually being in the property.
IoT opens up a host of possibilities when it comes to the neurocontrol of devices, allowing for pairing with virtual reality gadgets for a cutting-edge gaming experience. When thought can be translated into movement, not only can amputees enjoy restored natural movement in an artificial limb, but users can also benefit from neural control of robotics- with devices that can communicate with each other for seamless interaction.
Can the Internet of Things and blockchain hold the answer to a more connected world with neural control of robots? Are you excited by the possibility of controlling devices using only your mind?
