A 3D Multifunctional and Flexible Neural Interface

Being able to measure the electrical activity of the brain has helped us gain a much better understanding of the brain's processes, functions, and diseases over the past decades. So far, much of this activity has been measured via electrodes placed on the scalp; however, being able to acquire signals directly from inside the brain itself during daily life activities could take neuroscience and neuromedicine to completely new levels.

Remote Specimen Collection Robot

The robot system is composed of a master device controlled by medical personnel and a slave robot that interacts with patients. The slave robot is equipped with a disposable swab, which retrieves samples from the nose and mouth of a patient, and moves according to the operation of the master device.

Robotic Hand can Handle Eggs, cut Paper with Scissors

The robotic hand can be easily mounted on a variety of robot arms, and offers the world's strongest grasping force against its own weight. It is expected that the use of robotic hands will be extended to industrial sites as well as everyday life.
