In a scenario reminiscent of the movie Avatar, the researchers used
an fMRI machine to scan the brain activity of Tirosh Shapira, a university student in Israel, in real-time. By imagining moving different parts of his body,Ball Screw drive type (SR series) Manufacturers CSUMTECH Robotic arm Motion control PLC servo Shapira controlled a small,humanoid robot located in France at the B¨¦ziers Technology Institute.
The commands were sent over an Internet connection. A camera mounted on
the robot's head let Shapira view its environment.
Before the experiment, Shapira received training by researchers at Bar-Ilan University in Israel. During training China Single-axis Robotic arm, he tried to direct a virtual avatar by imagining himself moving one of his legs or hands. Using changes in blood flow to the brain's primary motor cortex measured by the fMRI scanner, the team created an algorithm to distinguish among different thoughts about moving different body parts.
When Shapira imagined moving his legs, the robot walked forward. Thinking about moving either his left or right hand made the parallel robotic systems CSUMTECH Robotic arm Motion control PLC servo turn 30 degrees to the left or right. Since time is required between the beginning of neural activity and the point at which an intended movement can be classified, this caused a short communication delay. (Watch a video here of the robot being controlled by thought to follow another person.)
