Direct Brain Control of a Humanoid Robot

University of Washington Researchers have developed a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) that allows a user to command a humanoid robot to pick up objects and bring it to specific locations. A humanoid robot can use sophisticated robotics and computer vision techniques to explore the environment, discover possible objects and interactions, and interact with the objects selected by a user. In this way, a simple BCI-based selection interface can enable a user to perform significantly …

    that’s certainly one way of looking at it, but in the same way, “you” aren’t controlling every aspect of what you are doing consciously.

    the intelligent scientis put a electrical-stimulus sensitive facility like this OVER the head of some volounteer, the sticks in the monkey’s brain to probe something that could be proved also with this facility.

    Ok just so everyone …
    Ok just so everyone knows what’s happening here: The robot is not being controlled by the guy. It’s being controlled by an AI. All the guy is doing is trying to influence which block the AI choses to go for. The technology is not advanced enough for the guy to actually be controlling the robot. First they hook him up and have the computer recognize when his brain sees something he’s looking for.. then they have him focus on a block and the robot picks whatever color block he’s focusing on..
