Chinese company BrainCo unveils first 'brain-to-robot' interface for controlling robots with your thoughts
- A new 'brain-to-robot' interface has been unveiled in China
- It uses non-invasive EEG technology
- The system will supply much-needed real-world AI training data
We're seeing brain-computer interfaces (BCI) continue to get more advanced and more practical, and Chinese company BrainCo has now announced another first: a BCI that enables robots to be controlled by thoughts.
As reported by the South China Morning Post, BrainCo says the system works through EEG (electroencephalogram) headsets worn by human operators, which translate neural activity into instructions for robots to follow.
Like other similar 'mind reading' devices, it's based on vast amounts of training data that associate specific neuron activity with specific commands as they're imagined in the brain. AI algorithms then manage the job of finding the right action for the right thought.
It's called the Brain-Controlled Robot AI Platform, and it was unveiled at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in...
