Chinese researchers have unveiled a system that allows users to control drones with their thoughts. The technology was designed to help
handicapped people, but could have ample applications in other fields as
well.
China Zhejiang University shows
how the system, called Flybuddy2, works. And it appears that you don’t
have to be a nuclear scientist to build one. All you need is an EEG
headset with a Bluetooth connection to a laptop – plus a quadrotor
Parrot AR Drone linked to the computer.
The computer can receive EEG signals via Bluetooth and convert them to specific commands to control the AR drones through WiFi,” a presenter explains.
To get the drone to raise or to land, a user would need to “think left” hard. “Think left lightly” if you want to rotate clockwise and “right” if you want it to lurch forward. Give it a lift in the air by thinking “push.” And imagine clenching it if you want to bring it back down to earth.
