Mind Control Robot Army Is Now Real

~He's thinking: TRANSFAAATS!~
Recently some mad docs over in Japanland have made major process in creating a mind controlled wheelchair. Reproving that all Japanese scientists simply want to create gundams. In this case, the psycoframe (I'm sorry about the geocities link, but that site has SO MUCH information, I couldn't pass it up).

Right now, the thing takes 125 milliseconds to translate “BURROWED LURKER! TURN RIGHT!” into wheel movement. It works by sensing brain waves using an EEG, and watching cheek puffs. I don't know what a cheek puff is, but it makes the chair stop so it must be important and easy.

Meanwhile, Honda has brought their Asimo one step closer to being the icon of never-leave-your-room future. This time, you strap into a chair with a giant box attached to a bowl that goes on your head and you think really hard about your right hand, your left hand, feet, or tongue (wait... is this robot pron?), and after 20 seconds (Ya I know! You could have done yourself by that time!) the Asimo moves for you.

What's really interesting is that they call this huge chair monster a Brain Machine Interface, or BMI. So in the future, when people ask for your BMI, they won't be checking if you're fat. Because everyone will be obese. They'll be figuring out what operating system you use to control your robot army servants.

Watch as Japan gets closer to world domination by robot!
