What if software could steer a car back on track if the driver swerves on ice? Or guide a prosthesis to help a shaky stroke patient smoothly lift a cup?

Bioengineers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have developed a mathematical algorithm that can "see" your intention while performing an ordinary action like reaching for a cup or driving straight up a road — even if the action is interrupted.

The original article can be found online at the UIC News Center, and the original study can be found in the journal PLOS ONE.

    How about the the car that swerves to avoid the moose crossing the road... is the car going to 'correct' your actions then?
    What if the moose is a mother and stroller?
