Paralyzed patients to remotely control robots with their mind
November 15, 2012
CRNS-AIST Joint Robotics Laboratory researchers are developing a brain-controlled interface (BCI) that would allow tetraplegics or paraplegics to remotely control robots via thought alone.
Using a cap with electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes, a computer program would interpret the user’s brainwave signals and transform them into robot actions to control movement and interaction.
