Soldiers controlling a robot dog with their mind as they patrol a dusty road and sweep an delipidated building may sound like science fiction, but it is the scene in a real world demonstration.
The Australian Army has perfected mind-controlling abilities with eight sensors neatly packed inside a helmet that work in tandem with a Microsoft HoloLens.
The innovation features an AI-decoder that translates a soldier's brain signals into explainable instructions that are sent to the robotic quadruped, allowing humans to stay focused on their surroundings.
A new video shows military personal conducting a simulated patrol clearance using the robot dog, which was instructed to sweep a facility using what it read from a person's brain waves - and with 94 percent accuracy.
The Australian Army has unveiled an update to its mind-controlling system that powers robot dogs on the battlefield
The system was developed by the University of Technology Sydney that first unveiled the innovation last year, but recently published a new paper detailing the work.
'The user used our augmented brain–robot interface (aBRI) platform to control the robot systems,' reads the paper published by American Chemical Society on March 16.
'The aBRI platform allows the
