Controlling Robots with the Mind?

Japanese experts have succeeded in creating a headband that can manipulate a robot Gundam toy, and you're only going to need your mind.

If one of your goals was to Manipulate a huge Gundam robotIt is not yet possible, but perhaps what you can do is to control with your mind a small miniature of it.

At least in Japan they have already succeeded.

Japanese scientists have succeeded in creating a device that allows any individual to control a small toy robot with his or her mind. Gundam.

One of the robots most popular Japanese culture, which has transcended frontiers to the West.

Controlling Gundam Robots is Now Possible

For this, the experts modified a small toy robot. Zaku Gundam of the company Zeonic Technics from Bandai and which allows users to manually program a robot using a application cell phone.

Researchers at NeUa joint venture between the University of California, USA, and the University of Tohoku e Hitachideveloped a version of the which is able to move in response to human brain activity.

In order to reach their objective, they previously elaborated a sort of headband which is able to synchronize with the robot itself.

They then programmed the device to send brain activity data to the Zeionic Technica application. that activates the robot's movements.

This headband measures three different levels of brain activity, each linked to a particular movement sequence.

The invention appears to be inspired by a fictitious mind control mechanism seen in the anime series Gundam which is called Psycommu and that allows the humans in the series to control the robots with their minds. very ingenious, isn't it?

As you well know, in Japan they already have a robot practically ready. Gundam gigantic in size and is gradually being trained to perform different movements.
