You will be surprised how a simple game console controller can be used to control different muscles.

The robotics is it really advanced within the laboratories, but what most of us would like to see presented and have around the house would be robots similar to the ones we see in movies like I, Robot or Star Wars. For reach an technological milestone as spectacular as the one we have in mind, the researchers must go covering stages to discern what makes us human and transfer it to a machine. On this occasion, the muscle control is a small step in this direction.

I control your face with a remote and I show you how you can do it too

The threads and post of Reddit they show us so much information that it is impossible to cover it throughout the day. It is on this occasion, through this post, when we have become aware of a ingenuity of japanese origin and which consists of connect a controller of video games to a set of cables, which in turn are connected with a mechanism that activates certain muscles. The expensive it is the one that will see how its movements are directed through an external element such as the command in question.

The device which is responsible for play the signs which emits the I send is called ROS and it would be defined as a mechanism that allows communication by combining parts such as motors, sensors and other technologies. On one side is the terminal that emit signalsthe video game controller, and on the other hand these should be interpreted in another area, the face of the subject that we show you in the Tweet from the top.

The project manager clarifies that it can be replicated thanks to all the documentation that they have made available on GitHub, but you have to act responsibly given the dangerous nature of manipulating electrodes on the face and near the brain. East robotics student from Kanto University has more projects to his credit, as a flowerpot that allows you to communicate with plants, a microcomputer giant or a desk light similar to a balloon.
