at the Research and Exploratory Development Department at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
The robotic arm is attached to a piece of metal that is surgically implanted into the bone of the user's arm in technique called osseointegration. Matheny is the first person in the U.S. to have undergone the procedure, according to the U.S. Army.
The Army called the system a "true man/machine interface."
The mind-controlled aspect of the arm comes into play via the nerves and muscles in what remains of the user's arm. Those tissues send signals to the robotic arm, which responds to them as a real arm would.
"This is part of the Revolutionizing Prosthetics Program, where we set out to restore near-natural upper extremity control to our military service members who have lost limbs in service of our country," said Dr. Justin C. Sanchez, director of the Biological Technologies Office at DARPA, in a statement. "The goal is to control the arm as naturally as possible."
