Abstract:

A pair of exoskeletal limbs for a rat has been developed based on a vehicular Brain-Machine Interface “Rat-Car”. The “RatCar” is a whole-body motor prosthesis system for a rat developed by the authors, estimating locomotion velocity according to neural signals pattern to move the rat body by the vehicle instead of its original limbs. In this paper, exoskeletal limbs have displaced the wheels for more natural modality of body control. The system was tested by applying peripheral nerve signals from a behaving rat.
