Honda research group unveils non-invasive human-to-robot interface

Posted by on March 31st, 2009 in entertainment, future friendly, photos, tech

The Honda Research Institute Japan, ATR and Shimadzu Corporation have come up with a non-invasive control mechanism called the Brain Machine Interface (BMI).

The technology uses electroencephalography (EEG) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to allow a human to control a robot, in this case the Honda ASIMO, using mere thought. The technology offers up to 90 percent control accuracy without the use of physical implants, a huge milestone in human-to-robot interface that the research group hopes will yield new advances in robotics and artificial intelligence.

  1. The technology uses electroencephalography (EEG) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to allow a human to control a robot, in this case the AGM-114 Hellfire-equipped General Atomics Aeronautical Systems MQ-1 Predator drone, using mere thought.

    There, fixed that for you.

  2. LOL!
