(Extreme Tech) Sebastian Anthony - An Israeli student has become the first person to meld his mind and movements with a robot surrogate, or avatar. Situated inside an fMRI scanner in Israel, Tirosh Shapira has controlled a humanoid robot some 2000 kilometers (1250 miles) away, at the Beziers Technology Institute in France, using just his mind. The fMRI reads his thoughts, a computer translates those thoughts into commands, and then those commands are sent across the internet to the robot in France. When Shapira thinks about moving forward or backward, the robot moves forward or backward; when Shapira thinks about moving one of his hands, the robot surrogate turns in that direction. The robot has a camera on its head, with the image being displayed in front of Shapira. 2012-07-10 00:00:00Full Article
