Russian scientists designed a special neurointerface allowing control unmanned aircraft brain impulses. The program was created by Neurobotics commissioned by the Foundation for Advanced Studies of the Russian Federation (DRF).

« For the FPI was important that the demonstrator, managing copter could at the same time doing something else. Then the technology could be considered for use by the military on the battlefield. Therefore, our demonstrator during a management move, while quadrocopter recognized as direct commands – left, right, up, down – and scenario – for example, a flight to the desired point. That is, it was proved that the control copter force thought possible in the background “, – told the” News “CEO Neurobotics Vladimir Konishev.

It is reported that in addition to the prospects of the software in the military sector they may be interested and ordinary citizens.

«copter – is one of the demonstrators, demonstrate how it might look like, and in fact neurointerface range of applications is endless. For example, an interface perfectly suited to manage “smart home” people with disabilities. They can fully meet their livelihoods – can print work. Of course, neurointerface very promising in terms of use in the development of weapons systems, “- said Chairman of the Scientific and Technical Council of the Foundation for Advanced Studies Vitaly Davydov.

« Generation commands, or “states”, as we call them (they register sensors on the head demonstrator), associated with the use of special psychic techniques. The man at the right moment is the action that the system can recognize and identify. For example, he can imagine how squeezes his right hand three times, “- said General Director Vladimir Neurobotics Konishev.

copter – is not the only invention, controlled by thought. Thus, there are developments Russia, the USA, Finland, designed to work with the computer with special caps transmitting electronic command signals. In the summer of 2013 the Americans announced that they create quadrocopter controlled telekinesis, in October 2014, the Pentagon reported that scientists are struggling with the creation of such drones in the summer of this year, the Chinese have tested the car, the driver of which, bearing in mind the headset, move the car forward and backward, as well as open and blocked the door.
