Researchers Develop Robot That Can Be Controlled By The Human Mind

Controlling a robot through thought apparently is no longer a fantasy. A group of scientists from the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne of Switzerland has created a robot with advanced technology that can be controlled using the human mind





This sophisticated robot is controlled using an electrode cap through brain waves. This system was developed by Jose Millan, a professor from the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne. He has specialized in the field of non-invasive interfaces between machines and the human brain.

The robot control system for the first time demonstrated by people with paralysis. The robot control system is tested by means used to move the wheelchair in a hospital.

Unfortunately, this technology has limitations that brain signals have been noticeable if too many people were gathered around the examiner. But, Jose Millan said that this robot control system not only can be used to move the wheelchair, but also can be used to help restore the patient's sense of taste.
