This amazing project, completed by students from National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Pakistan, involves movement of a robotic hand based on brain signals. The project was funded by the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan and was tested on a 14 year old boy - amputated by both arms.

ASIMO
ASIMO is a humanoid walking robot made by HONDA. It has a total of 34 DOFs including 3 for head, 14 for arms, 4 for hand, a single for torso and 12 for legs. The robot can walk at around 2.7 km/hr and runs at 6 km/hr. The robot uses rechargeable batteries, servo motors for movement and harmonic speed reducer.
Robotic F.A.C.E (Facial Alerting in a Communication Environment)
This robot, built at MIT, uses the head a toy called Yano. It uses three motors which are driven using six pulse width modulated signal. Consequently it has three DOFs. A PIC microprocessor on an iRX board is used to drive the motors and the sensors. This microprocessor in turn takes commands from a computer and the software for it is written in C. The computer program however is written in C.
