The Mind-Controlled Robotic Suit is the invention of*Miguel Nicolelis, a Brazilian scientist at Duke University whom we’ve written about numerous times in the past for his work on*brain-machine interfaces. Named the*Bra-Santos Dumont after*Brazil and Albert Santos-Dumont, an aviation pioneer who was born in Brazil, the Suit works by reading*neural signals from the brain using*a cap fitted with sensors. The signals are decoded and command a pair of hydraulic legs to move. The*Bra-Santos Dumont also contains artificial skin in the soles of its feet that contain pressure, temperature, and speed sensors. The skin allows the user to receive a kind of tactile stimulation when walking with*the exoskeleton by vibrating the user’s arm when the foot touches the ground.
Looking at the screengrab of the kick, it’s unlikely that the*Bra-Santos Dumont exoskeleton will instantly give you Cristia** Ronaldo*skills, but it should certainly give some hope to soccer futbol players who have lost the use of their legs.
