Using only its brainpower, a monkey can direct a robotic arm to pluck a marshmallow from a skewer and stuff it into its mouth, U.S. researchers said on May 28, 2008. Arthur is one of two monkeys trained to feed themselves with the robotic arm, while seated in the chair with their arms gently restrained in sleeves that keep them from simply grabbing the food on their own.
