Video of the day: Thought controlled robotic legs.

Awesomely named company ‘Cyberdyne’ has been showing off their thought controlled robotic legs at CES. Sensors are attached to user’s legs, where they translate the nerves’ electrical signals.

The suit works on intent: the user needs only to “think” of moving his or her legs — the suit does the rest. That’s because the brain sends signals to the muscles of the legs, and the sensors detect them.

“Once I figured out how to stop trying to walk in the suit and just let the suit walk for me, the experience was almost transparent,” said test person Evan Ackerman.
