BrainCo Demonstrates Thought-to-Robot Control With Under 200 Milliseconds of Latency
The Chinese startup's electroencephalography (EEG) platform, shown at Shanghai's World AI Conference, drives robotic arms, humanoid robots, and four-legged robots from decoded brain signals rather than an implant.
BrainCo has presented a brain-to-robot system that lets a user operate machines through thought alone, AI Post reported. An electroencephalography (EEG) headset captures brain signals, and an AI model converts them into robot commands in un…
