Easton LaChappelle, a the next month inventor from the US, used a computer game called Mindflex to help him develop software that can move a 3D-printed arm using human brain waves. Using Mindflex, which enables a user to control a ball using their mind, LaChappelle was able to apply the same technology to move parts of the arm using his mind. LaChappelle said "we were able to produce the full robotic platform for about $500, and we want everybody who’s missing a limb to be able to use what we’ve created."
