Chinese scientists build factory robot that can read minds

The robot not only monitored the worker’s brain waves, but also collected electric signals from muscles, as it worked seamlessly together to assemble a complex product, according to its developers at China Three Gorges University’s Intelligent Manufacturing Innovation Technology Centre.

The co-worker did not need to say or do anything when they needed a tool or a component, as the robot would recognise the intention almost instantly, picking up the object and putting it on the workstation, according to the developers.


Trained robot monitored co-worker’s brain waves and muscle signals to predict needs, China Three Gorges University team says in domestic peer-reviewed paper.
