Not Jason Barnes, however. \u003Cstrong\u003EGeorgia Tech professor Gil Weinberg\u003C\/strong\u003E has built a robotic prosthesis that not only restores much of Barnes\u0027 musical prowess, but effectively gives him a third arm. The wearable offers direct control of one drumstick using bicep muscles; a second, automated drumstick monitors Barnes\u0027 timing and plays in sync at a customizable pace, creating a sound that ordinary humans can\u0027t match.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2014\/03\/05\/robotic-drummer-prosthesis\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ESource: engadget\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27592","created_gmt":"2014-03-06 09:40:03","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:26:59","author":"Joshua Preston","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"public library","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2014\/03\/05\/robotic-drummer-prosthesis\/","dateline":{"date":"2014-03-05T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2014-03-05T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1299","name":"GVU Center"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"4887","name":"GVU Center"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
