Paralyzed patients to remotely control robots with their mind

November 15, 2012

brain_controleld_robot

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.
