Yes. At a September 18, 2026 demonstration at the University of Utah’s Center for Medical Innovation, amputee Avi Davidson used the “LUKE Arm,” a neuroprosthesis that translates signals from an implant in the nerves and muscles of his residual upper arm into robotic hand movements and returns a sense of touch.
Davidson is the ninth participant in the Utah NeuroRobotics Lab and Biologic Input Output Systems (BIOS) trial and the first allowed to take the device home for unsupervised daily use. Researchers say the program has collected more than 30,000 hours of neural recordings and is exploring related interfaces for lower-limb prosthetics and other assistive devices.
