Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have created a remote–controlled robot that is able to simulate the "visual" experience of a blind person who has been implanted with a visual prosthesis, such as an artificial retina.

It is hoped that this approach may one day give blind persons the freedom of independent mobility.
