Rise of the Brain-Controlled Robot ARMIES: Chinese Military Trains Students to Control Machines by Doing This

Forget joysticks and exoskeletons, the future of warfare could see robot armies controlled using just a commander’s mind.

China has been training students at a military academy to use headsets that detect and interpret the brain activity of the wearer, allowing them to control the machines.

At a demonstration at the People’s Liberation Army Information Engineering University in Zhengzhou, students used the device to send robots trundling in different directions . . .

The technology uses a brain computer interface known as a electroencephalograph, which uses electrodes embedded in a cap to detect tiny changes in the electrical activity of the brain.

By training a computer to recognize particular patterns that accompany commands, such as turn left or turn right, this can be then transmitted to control the robot. (Read more from “Rise of the Brain-Controlled Robot ARMIES: Chinese Military Trains Students to Control Machines by Doing This” HERE)
