China Patent unmanned aircraft controlled by thought.

How it works of system, called Flybuddy2, are described in detail in a video on YouTube by researchers at Zhejiang University publish.Accordingly, all that is needed to prepare a standard headset EEG (EEG) with Bluetooth connectivity with laptop, plus a fourth unmanned aircraft propeller Parrot AR connected tocomputer.

"Computers can receive EEG signals via Bluetooth and convert them into specific commands to control the UAV AR via Wi-Fi," the researchers explain.

Accordingly, to the unmanned aircraft can takeoff or landing, the user will need to be very focused, "think of the left". "Think of the soft left" if you want the plane to move in clockwise and "think right" if you want it to move forward. Want to pick up down the UAV in the air, just think "push up "or gim close it.

In addition to the move, the user can "think" to control the UAV taking pictures, looking at objects at close range or fight another UAV.

UAV control technology by thinking designed for people with disabilities in order to help them interact with the world around them better. However, it is possible to think about its applications for military and civilian purposes.

The researchers intend to introduce this invention at an international conference on global computing by the Association of Computer Machinery (ACM) held in Pittsburgh next week.
