Control a robot with your mind!


Incredible, is it not? Some researchers from France and Japan have recently developed a robot that can be manned using nothing but your own thoughts! They were able to invent this technology based on the mapping and translation of brain signals into commands which the robot can interpret and perform.  Firstly this invention was created to help paralyzed people, but the scientist say that soon enough everyone will be using it. (read the article here!)

I think we are coming closer and closer to the time we will cut the bounds of real human interaction, this new invention is prove of this! It may come the day in which robots will perform all of our chores; the only thing they won’t be able to do is eating for us! Inventions like this one have both good a bad sides; it can be used to disarm bombs and to work under extreme conditions which the human body cannot endure, but also it restricts the senses and the interaction, because is not the same to go to the beach than manning a robot to go for you.

No matter how advanced the inventions are or will be, they will never replace the connection that the human mind has with its own body. Do you think this is an improvement or a deterioration for the human race?
