A scientist at the Human-Oriented Robotics and Control Lab at Arizona State University has created a way of controlling up to four drones with the power of the human mind. While we’ve previously seen crafty inventors fly drones with the assistance of devices like the Apple Watch or the Nintendo Power Glove, researcher Panagiotis Artemiadis is working on a technology that will take drone control to a whole new level. Researcher Panagiotis Artemiadis has fabricated a skull cap fitted with 128 electrodes that connects to a computer. The cap records brain activity and converts it into information the drones can interpret. In this case, the drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) called the “Brain” which was developed by researchers from the Human Oriented Robotics and Control Lab. However, the technology could also be adapted for other machines.
