The Robot Arm Prosthetic Controlled by Thought
Johnny Matheny is the first person to attach a mindcontrolled prosthetic limb directly to his skeleton. After losing his arm to cancer in 2008, Johnny signed up for a number of experimental surgeries to prepare himself to use a DARPAfunded prosthetic prototype. The Modular Prosthetic Limb, developed by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, allows Johnny to regain almost complete range of motion through the Bluetoothcontrolled arm.
