What this video demonstrates—and what it does not establish

What this video demonstrates

  • Human participant control of an external Assistive Robotic Arm (ARA) under the CONVOY study protocol.

Scope limits & what it does not establish

  • 32-second single-task clip; unsupervised everyday robotic-arm use requires extensive collision-avoidance and tactile safety validation.

How this fits into Neuralink's broader clinical and hardware roadmap

This video sits inside the Robotic arms & wheelchair mobility (CONVOY) research track on StonkBuilder's independent Neuralink hub. All Neuralink hardware (the N1 implant and R1 surgical robot) and clinical programs (PRIME NCT06429735, CONVOY, and VOICE NCT07224256) remain investigational and have not received FDA commercial marketing authorization. Read our full companion guide at Robotic arms & wheelchair mobility (CONVOY) for cohort context.
