In episode 6 of [A Certain Scientific Railgun
T](https://myanimelist.net/anime/38481/Toaru_Kagaku_no_Railgun_T), we see
[Baba](https://myanimelist.net/character/178231/Yoshio_Baba) ordering around
his Great Dane Type, Mosquito Type, and Mantis Type robots.

When he gives orders to the Mantis Type, he's inside his trailer (or
something) where there appears to be a control center of sorts. So it's
conceivable there's a microphone there that is used to pick up his orders.

The Mosquito Type, however, appears to just act on its own, and I don't
remember seeing Baba speaking any orders to it on any episode.

As for the Great Dane Types, we see him shouting orders, but then near the end
of the episode,
[Wannai](https://myanimelist.net/character/29087/Kinuho_Wannai) almost drowns
Baba by surrounding his whole head with water — and it doesn't look like Baba
_speaks_ , but instead _thinks_ something like "Great Dane Types, absorb this
water," which springs the dogs to action.

**How does Baba control and communicate with his robots?  
Does he need to speak orders out loud, or is there some sort of mental
communication happening?**
