- Cathy Hutchinson has been unable to move her own arms or legs for 15 years. But using the most advanced brain-machine interface ever developed, she can steer a robotic arm towards a bottle, pick it up, and drink her morning coffee. The interface includes a sensor implanted in Cathy's brain, which 'reads' her thoughts, and a decoder, which turns her thoughts into instructions for the robotic arm. In this video, watch Cathy control the arm and hear from the team behind the pioneering study.

That smile is worth every second and penny spent into this research. =)
When she smiled it made me cry. Individuals such as these deserve technology such as this! :)
She smiled when she got her coffee! Amazing technology and it completely lifts the spirit at the thought of it helping someone in need.
Indeed, this was amazing. It's too complex to think about this: how you can control something completely external, with many angles of possible movement, using only your brain and your concentration, and manage to do something like this.
Bravo to the development team, bravo to Cathy.
The future is here! We've cracked open the gate to this new world combining mind and machine, the possibilities are endless.
Awesome! My dad, a paraplegic of some 22 years, would have been amazed by this if he'd live to see the day.
It doesn't look perfect and astonishing but look at her smile after she was capable to drink that coffee using her own will. I think that deserves a big thumb up! :)
I hope the tehnology will be even more developed in the future.
Most touching smile I've ever seen! Congrats on performing that feat - on being able to serve yourself and on helping science progress so critically!
Hats off to the researchers and everyone working on this. Keep up the good work!
Unbelievable. Even crazier that this was so long ago, and I’m just learning about this in my neuroscience class. I can only imagine what’s next!
I've seen it used alot here in the comments, but "amazing" is really the right word.
I shed some tears looking at this. Amazing!!!!
Wow! Her smile makes it all so worth it!
Good work guys really proud of the whole team..Briliant minds working for the sake of helping others..Job well done!!
I have never seen a robot arm moving so gracefully.
That is fantastic. I hope such researches go on successfully.
Great work Cathy! All the best..
Congratulations to the research team
One of the most epic thing on the internet! When I think about the complexity of those systems, I'm just amazed by the abilities of those searchers!
wow! that smile on her face is soo touching. the way we take our own limbs for granted... i am glad that victims of paralysis can have their limbs back, albeit in a roundabout way.
I saw this video in another website and just came here to check it out what I thought: this is the first nice video with no dislikes!! :)
her smile is everything
Amazing. Absolutely great!
I can't imagine that I live in this time!! Incredible!
THAT'S UNCLEAR BUT SHE STILL LIKED IT I MEAN THE SMILE ON SIP SEEMED GENUINE ENOUGH
You and I both, my friend. This is what I find so beautiful about science and technology.
Her smile when drinking the coffee is amazing
brought me to tears
Indeed it is amazing and hard. Glad that some people are researching and developing this. It helps these people to do things that they wouldn't be able to do anymore.
This is beautiful.
This is amazing! Go science!
This is amazing!
magic work, fantastic
simply amazing!
Yeah, me too. It was beautiful, and so moving to watch.
how could someone dislike this?
some people want them to stay crippled. jeez u in ur little bubble m8
It seems to me that when she becomes accustom to the control interface she could work as an industrial robot programmer, working from home through the internet. Every task she makes the arm perform is a program she has written herself.
i really like this keep up the good work!
wow! a brilliant video!
Biomeds + Technology = A beautiful SMILE
well work
this is amazing
AMAZING.
good work. keep it up.
You stole my thoughts. Manly tears fell on my cheeks.
Es un avance importante en la aplicación del conocimiento de las neurociencias, informática y rabótica a la salud y a la esperanza de personas con limitaciones y para aquellos que creemos en el esfuerzo del ser humano por superar las dificultades. Es un buen ejemplo de la coordinación y el trabajo en equipo al servicio de la salud.
Amazing!!!
Awesome!!! Great job to the people who worked on this project. One small step for men, women and children. One giant leap for mankind. Though of course I can't help myself think of the destructive ways some people will use this tech in the future. Discovery of the atom was a remarkable feat, but also one that brought the darker side of our specie's desire for knowledge, but for the wrong reasons.
This is just wonderful, amazing, brilliant. It makes me want to become a scientist, this sort of thing used to be science fiction and now there's a woman controlling a robot arm with her mind! Her mind controlling a robot arm! It's just mind blowing.
Great comment!
that was truly awesome
you people are doing great things :)
The robot hand is a very good invention!
Nice circle!!!
Incredible
If I remember correctly, the University of Pittsburgh did this already a year ago with monkeys and then with a man who was completely paralyzed using the Bionic Arm built by Dean Kamen and DARPA. But congrats to this woman. I hope she continues helping to trial this.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
Awesome!
Que maravilhosa é a capacidade do ser humano em criar dispositivos que possam auxiliar uma pessoa com algum tipo de necessidade, mais oque considero mais extraordinário é a superação do ser humano, essa vontade de viver e mostrar pra si mesmo que é capaz de fazer oque parece impossível, deixar para trás toda sua impotência diante de algumas adversidades e buscar força, ter coragem e crer que é possível. Isso é maravilhoso, é digno de grande respeito, é uma demonstração de que a vida vale a pena.
Yay for science!!!
Fantastic accomplishment here. I'd like to see them work on a device that could be implanted in the spinal cord that would bridge whatever gap that was created by injury so that these people could ultimately have the use of their own limbs restored. It would seem possible for the right technical person to invent.
How is it even possible that Brain can control things outside our body parts?
If this is true then its a great invention!
Manly tears on my face
cool.. i can imagine our future with these kind of technology. :)
i met a stroke victim that's paralyzed and can't speak, i hope he can get this kind of technological help.
Sad but true
why the dislikes
Trolls, idiots, people who're opposed to this on religious and/or ethical grounds... who knows, take your pick.
sslaxx Why do people always pick on religion? I'm religious and yet i find this beautiful. It would be unethical and selfish to prevent someone who is disabled from doing everyday things. Nowhere in any religion does it really say 'don't help the disabled'.
No it does not. But some people are, well... less than rational, and enjoy nothing better than to twist things to support their own warped viewpoints.
True I agree with that, I'm religious but I have to say a lot of 'religious' people, especially those claiming to be superior in religion and somewhat leaders have a backwards way of thinking and sadly pretend they're representatives of my religion giving it a bad image for other people.
they should stay crippled, i bet non of them are paying for their robotics anyways. tax payer money. my money. better spent on parks for the kids init bruv.
I hope one day i can work with this kind of research.
@JuanSebastia I'm pretty sure they explained that she needs to think about the motion of her arm.
Well done to all scientists and doctors that work for the betterment of all man kind.
Thank you God for bringning robotic arm to this woman !
interesting, (not sarcasm) you put a lot of thought and research into this.
It's fantastic. I think everyday that the future is already there. Look at her smile! Im happy :)
so beautiful
I hope she uses this technology responsibly
Listen up! If u can do this with a robot arm, you can use this in Virtual Reality games. Yes it is a help to use these for paralyzed people, but you can definitely use it for vr games.
Ya but for for games you have to go both ways, you have to feel stuff
just seeing and doing is close enough for now, we can feel the stuff later
Thumbs up for you ser
Professor X's style! Jokes aside, I think this is truly fantastic! I only regret the fact that it's still in experimental stages and when released, will obviously be quite expensive.
What has Science done? It has helped her, that's what!
Totally funding this if possible.
I suspect it's just like learning how to walk. first the movement seems random, but after a while your brain starts to understand wich neurons to fire to get a specific reaction.
I agree this is great. The conflict occurs when people start to think they are gods because humanity is able to create awesome things like this.
3:46 brought the biggest smile to my face. :')
Nothing super-new but it's amazing, once we invent a way to use brainwave stronger when interacting with machines this type of technology will change the worlds environment. I hope that when I'm old I can control my TV with my mind.
An Exoskeleton they have a few prototypes, already seen some videos
so the force exists!
thx bro, you got it
with the notion that living with these technologies and to live with her, it is essential .. it's not just your comment
Getting closer to Ghost in the shell :D
I've watched this video three times. If 3:27 doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you aren't human.
Wow, that is seriously AMAZING! This REALLY blows my mind :D
The only thing I'm wondering about is..How would that work concretely in the future, so that tetraplegic people can use those devices on their own?You can't just amputate the arm and implant these devices,right?
Oh well, I know we're still very far from that actually happening, but it would be great if you could eventually use that concept to create mind-controlled legs for paralyzed people and make them completely independent again :)
Cathy is so cute, she seems like a wonderful woman.
The machine seems to be very beneficial.
Omnissiah be praised!!!
Maybe you should wait for amunculus prosthetics. A living machine that fully integrates with your body like a symbiote ;3
A wireless version huh? Guys should check out the Emotiv, it reads the brain in the same way, but transfers it to a computer interface instead. All without drilling a hole in your head.
Why not pre-set the robotic movements on the screen and then let patience to use coursers to select those pre-set movements on the screen?
One small sip for a human, one giant sip for humankind!
do you have any idea how much work this was? how many people worked countless hours to invent a computer that can interpret what your brain tells it and translate that into a mechanical movement?? Nobody denies that there is still a lot left to be done, but there is no need to discredit a lot of hard work and an impressive feat that could change many lives.
her arms actually moved at 0:09... maybe she was thinking so hard about moving an arm that it actually worked a little!
AMAZING !!!! Do you guys really understand what does it exactly mean ?? For our futur.... incredible...
Very cool! Is the robot arm developed by the DLR?
Bet she's thinking "I never asked for this".
