Overview
- China’s CEBSIT said a fully implanted, wireless brain‑computer interface enabled stable control of a smart wheelchair, robotic dogs and digital devices outside the lab.
- The 28-year-old trial participant carried out paid remote work and everyday tasks such as ordering takeaway that a robot dog delivered home.
- Shanghai NeuroXess described a 64‑electrode implant with a subcutaneous processor, antenna and battery plus wireless charging, though independent technical details are still limited.
- Clinicians reported basic control within five days and expanded abilities within six weeks, with system latency reported at under 100 milliseconds for smoother operation.
- Reporting contrasted the deployment with Neuralink’s earlier-stage trials, and researchers said peer‑reviewed data, replication and regulatory assessments are still needed, with a 256‑channel upgrade slated for trials.
