Russian Scientists Develop Quadcopter That Can Be Controlled by Thoughts From: Oddity Central - 12/23/2015 Thanks to the hard work of a few Russian scientists, everyone might soon be able to use the power of telekinesis. They've created a special quadcopter that doesn’t need external controls as it can be operated with the power of thought. The user needs to put on a special helmet that can read human thoughts and translate them into machine-readable instructions, telling the copter how high and far to fly. The project was financed by Russia’s Foundation for Advanced Research, an organisation that supports research programs in the interest of national defense. Neurobotics, a Zelenograd-based company, worked on the copter's design for many years before developing a successful prototype. "Commands, or ‘conditions' as we call them, are generated by the sensors on the head of an operator," Neurobotics director Vladimir Konyshev explained. "The person thinks about certain actions at right moments which the system then recognises and identifies."
