Honda Develop Mind Controlled Robots

Ah, to be in charge of your own robot army eh?

Sat there on your cyberpunk throne; flick a switch and thy will be done…..

Better still, your commands are given to your automated troops by the power of your evil mind! MWAHAHHAhahahaahahahahahahahahahh!!!

Errrrrrrrrrrrm…….

Sorry……..

Not sure what came over me then.

This isn’t too far away from what Japan’s Honda Research Institute are developing now that they’ve hooked up with ATR and Shimadzu Corp.

The tech is called BMI (Brain Machine Interface – not the other one that tells you how fat you are) and it uses electroencephalography (ECG).

Like when you have a brain scan the machine measures those electrical currents in your noggin as well as using near-infrared spectroscopy, which looks at brain blood flow.

Put together all that gives you up to 90% accurate robot control without the use of physical implants.

Excccccccccccccccccccceeellent……..

At the moment this involves you sitting in a retro-futuristic chair whilst wearing a crash helmet.

This is just the first stage of RULING THE WORLD WITH MY CYBER SQUADRONS VAPORISING ALL THAT OPPOSE MY GREATNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOooo……..I think I need to lay down a while….

I got the heads up of this wonderful development via Akihabara News
