VIDEO: Monkey Controls Robotic Arm With Mind. Beware Of Robot Monkeys.

LINK AL VIDEO

The monkey in the video has a chip in its brain that controls a robotic arm. He uses the arm to feed himself a piece of yellow food. Probably a banana. What’s in the deleted scenes? The outtakes of the monkey smacking himself in the head with robotic arm. -HENRY

Update:
Someone from the lab just left a comment …

I actually work in this lab currently, it was odd to see video from my own lab on BoingBoing. That was a reenactment in the sense that they replayed previous brain-control recordings through the arm, but the original movement was performed live. To see videos of it working in real time, go to
