Honda controls Asimo by thought, takes brain-machine interface to a whole new level
Posted By: Harsh | Mar 31 2009
The small steps of Asimo are more like giant leaps for mankind and for robots. Honda Research Institute, ATR and Shimadzu have successfully displayed a Brain Machine Interface (BMI) controlling the Asimo. The interface uses electroencephalography (EEG) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and processes complex information from both these “sensors” with the help of a new information extraction technology. As a result, the robot can be controlled merely by thought, without any physical motion. With accuracy at 90 percent, this technology looks extremely promising. Video after the jump!
