Elon Musk’s brain implant company is launching a new study to test whether its wireless device can control a robotic arm.

In a post on X.com, Neuralink said it had been granted regulatory approval for "a new feasibility trial to extend BCI control using the N1 implant to an investigational assistive robotic arm," adding that it is "an important first step towards restoring not only digital freedom, but also physical freedom."

Neuralink announced the launch of a feasibility trial to explore extending the N1 implant’s capabilities to control an assistive robotic arm. The study aims to provide individuals with paralysis the ability to perform tasks like grasping and manipulating objects using only their thoughts.

Neuralink has announced its entering the next phase of development of a brain-computer interface that involves the use of robotic arm.

Elon Musk's Neuralink received approval to launch a new feasibility trial using its brain implant and an investigational assistive robotic arm, the brain-chip startup said in a post on X on Monday.

Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface company, Neuralink Corp., said it is starting to test a technology that could allow paralyzed people to control a robotic arm.

Elon Musk's brain-computer interface (BCI) startup, Neuralink, announces it will test whether a person can contrrol a robotic arm with just their thoughts.

Neuralink says that the study's launch is an important step towards restoring not just digital but also physical freedom.

Neuralink, a brain technology start-up founded by Elon Musk, has received approval to commence a feasibility study involving its brain implant and an experimental robotic arm, the South China Morning Post reported. The PRIME study will evaluate the safety of Neuralink's wireless brain-computer interface and surgical robot.
