Neuralink, the company behind Elon Musk’s brain chip, has shared details about its upcoming experiment. The company plans to attempt controlling a robotic arm through the implant.

Led by Elon Musk, Neuralink set out to create a brain-computer interface and has successfully implanted chips in the brains of two individuals so far. These experiments were successful, allowing the participants to think and control computers. Now, new information has emerged about Neuralink’s next plans. The company has made a statement announcing that its implant has been approved for a brand-new trial.

The Robotic Arm Will Be Controlled

Neuralink’s new tests aim to use the brain chip to control robotic arms. In this context, researchers will attempt to control a robotic arm for research purposes using the implant. Musk refers to this experiment as the “Luke Skywalker solution,” referencing the iconic Star Wars character with a robotic arm.

Neuralink described this new experiment as “an important step towards restoring not only digital freedom, but also physical freedom.” There is no official information yet on when the experiments will begin.

It’s not surprising that this kind of initiative is coming from Neuralink. One of its main goals is to restore full body movements to individuals who have suffered from conditions like spinal cord injuries and strokes.
