And finally... in Japan scientists at the Honda Research Institute have unveiled the world's first brain to machine interface. Dubbed BMI short for Brain Machine Interface this new technology system will enable people to control robots using their mind.
Pushing buttons and fiddling with levers to control a robot could be a thing of the past. Honda's new system works using a brain activity measuring device that sends signals to their famous ASIMO humanoid robot.
As a user imagines moving a body part, sensors placed on the head measure and analyze the slight waves and blood flow changes in the brain. This allows the robot to make corresponding movements such as raising its arm or leg.
Honda hopes to incorporate the technology into a variety of human-friendly products in the future.
[Tatsuya Okube, Honda Research]:
"As you know, we are, we are fundamental researchers so now we are, we are challenging to release some new technology. So unfortunately now we cannot expect when we can release BMI (Brain Machine Interface) as a product."
Japan is now home to almost half of the world's 800,000 industrial robots. This massive robot population is expected to turn into a 10 billion U.S. dollar industry in the future.

I think when robots get to think for themselves they will have such a grasp on reality that will have a moral superiority, hence not wipping us out. Maybe we will end up learning from them, or should we consider trans-humanism?
I think we can all safely assume the military is probably working on killer robots as we speak. Has anyone seen the Exoskeleton suit they made? Friggin' scary.
In an endurance test a soldier moved stacks of cynder blocks with on hand in less than a minute and didn't even break a sweat.
i think ur a little out of line... COMPUTERS COMING BACK IN TIME TO KILL US ALL, AHHHHH!!! .......... no, its a movie, most of all movies aren't real, unless its says true story...

TERMINATOR- THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, BASED ON A TRUE STORY, NO LIE..
I was talkin about the machines killing us, not coming back in time and I think its possible. And its a sf movie. these guys are controling robots with their brain, not to mention the ion colider "project" or whatever the name is, doesnt that sound like sf to you?
machines, computers, wait no i think its machines cause they say its machines sorry i lied..(termator).. and might be a little disturbing that they are now making computer based machines on every day life... na i dont think there would be anything like that.. we wont know anything if were stuck on the fears of the future, like phil of the future on disney channel plus any thing sounds like sifi, sorry i really dont no anything about things that arent in this world i suppose... in this world?idk
