Yes sir, boffins over at the University of Chicago were experimenting with brain-computer interfaces in monkeys, where our primate friends were taught to control computer cursors using electrodes implanted in their brains. This development will go a long way in a mind-controlled exoskeleton, and it would definitely give the disabled community a whole new world of freedom if the experiment is successful, and a fully working prototype emerges.
