The US military is about to apply brainwave technology to control robots

Controlling robots with thoughts that appear only in sci-fi films has now come true and may soon be applied in the US military.

According to the Huffington Post, for the past two years, robotic navigators and navigators at Arizona State University have worked with the US military in the field of applications to control robots by thinking on aerial devices. Drive like in the science fiction movie Oblivion.

This technology has now grown dramatically, allowing one to control many drone devices. The goal of scientists is to provide a solution for a person who can use thought to control a fleet of unmanned aircraft and perform complex orders.

There are many research groups around the world that control the flight of brain waves . Last year, researchers from Portugal carried out the take-off, flight, and complex aerial movements through the operator's mindset.

The University of Arizona research team of the unmanned aerial vehicle fleet has a headgear with 128 electrodes that read brain waves and transmit it to a computer. The computer will analyze and send control signals to the aircraft.

" One of the new areas that we are exploring is how can you bridge the gap between people and robots, especially with many robo t", said Panagiotis Artemiadis, head of the research team. know.

" We believe this technology can be used in the military within the next 5-10 years ," Artemiadis said.

However, in addition to military purposes, this technology has many applications. Robots are often used in tasks that endanger humanity, search and rescue missions, or access disaster areas and explore the environment.
