The invention, which incorporates Artificial Intelligence (AI), uses mind-reading technology. To operate the machine, a patient will strap on the robotics and put on a brain-computer interface (BCI).ย The device allows for direct communication between the brain and the machine.

The technology hence allows a user to operate a prosthetic arm that receives commands from the brain.

โ€œIt acts according to the way you think. If you think to lift your arm or wave, the technology will do so according to your desire,โ€ the innovator spoke to K24.

The inventors noted that theย machine can aid individualsย with no arms to operate a vehicle.

โ€œBy just thinking of an action, a user can operate a vehicle, switch on and off the lights as well as operate a computer,โ€ they said.

The innovators noted that the possibilities of the technology are endless.

However, they cited lack of quality materials as a major challenge, and hadย resorted to using scrap metals to build the robotics.

โ€œWe source for various materials from electronic dealers and various dumpsites in villages and towns,โ€ they stated.

The innovators called upon the government and international bodies toย assist in the technologyย for it to be produced in a mass capacity.

Over the recent past, youths have invented unique innovations in a bid to assist the lives of people. Recently, a middle aged man invented an electric wheel chair in order to help the disabled persons.
