When it comes to controlling robots, it isn't just a matter of finding ways to give them commands, but of making sure they're carrying out those commands properly. To help with this, a team from MIT's ...

There have been some amazing breakthroughs that enable humans to control a single machine with their thoughts. The next step is figuring out how to operate an entire fleet of robots with mind control.

Researchers are looking to push robotic exoskeletons into the realm of thought control, eliminating the need for hand controls and reaching those unable to use their upper bodies. Journalist Bonnie ...

Baxter can read your mind to learn if it's getting a simple task right or wrong, possibly setting up a foundation for thought-controlled machines. Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011.

Although it is possible to control devices using brain waves, doing so usually involves having electrodes and conductive gel applied to one's head. Now, however, scientists have developed a ...

Scientists at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have published in Cell a new study that demonstrates a brain-computer interface (BCI) powered by artificial intelligence (AI) machine ...

Healthcare systems worldwide are struggling with overcrowded hospitals, physician burnout, and rising surgery delays. Which is why it's always a good thing to see research exploring new solutions ...

I have a love/hate affair with absurdity on television. Often times, it's done to be cool or LOL SO RANDOM without any actual merit or reason for it to be around. But sometimes a show finds just the ...

A key element of a robotics future will be how humans can instruct machines on a real-time basis. But just what kind of instruction is an open question in robotics. New research by Google's DeepMind ...

From Austin Powers to Subservience, sex robots have been staple features of blockbusters for decades. But the unusual devices are slowly but surely becoming more mainstream, with human-robot sex even ...

A paralyzed woman who was one of the first people to control a robotic arm using thought alone has finished a two-year run on a high note — by beating her brother at rock-paper-scissors. Jan ...
