Scientists have developed a new device that allows paralysed people to control a robot remotely using only their thoughts, an electrode-studded hat capable of analysing their brain signals. The device, which is being tested in the US, has been designed by researchers at Stanford University and can be used with patients who are unable or unwilling to use conventional prosthetic limbs.

Subjects were able to instruct the robot to move, transmitting their instructions in real time via internet from their home country.
