Control a Robot with your thoughts
Honda’s research and development arm, Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) and Shimadzu Corporation have been making massive breakthroughs in what they call “information extraction technology” with the aim of enabling the control of a robot and other mechanical devices by human thought alone.

The technology involves measuring every electrical current, movement of blood and related activities in the brain. The BMI then analyzes this information and transmits it to the robot which for this demostration is Honda’s well known Asimo. Video after the jump.
