Paralyzed teen to kick World Cup's first ball with mind-controlled exoskeleton
This year's World Cup
could be host to something more exciting than a bicycle kick scoring
the winning goal. Thanks to an international collaboration between
universities such as Colorado State University, The Technical University
of Munich and Duke University, a paralyzed teen is set to open the
sporting event by kicking a football while wearing a motorized
exoskeleton controlled by his or her brain. Colorado State University in
particular recently published a video of its portion of the Walk Again
Project, describing just how the mind-control helmet was 3D-printed
layer-by-layer in order to fit the wearer's head and connect the
electrodes. Take a peek after the break to see the video in question,
which also offers a fascinating look into how advances in robotics and
3D printing can improve people's lives. Which is a hell of a lot more
entertaining than watching Nigel de Jong roughing up Xabi Alonso again.
