				|  	  | Quote: |  	  | Scientists have created a way to control a robot with signals from a human brain. 
 By generating the proper brainwaves�picked up by a cap with electrodes that sense the signals and reflect a person's instructions�scientists can instruct a humanoid robot to moves to specific locations and pick us certain objects.
 
 The commands are limited to moving forward, picking up one of two objects and bringing it to one of two locations. The researchers have achieved 94 percent accuracy between the thought commands and the robot's movements.
