A team of researchers at Northeastern University in Boston is working on a brain-robot interface that lets you command a robot by looking at specific regions on a computer screen.

位于波士顿的美国东北大学的一组研究人员正致力于开发出一种“大脑-机器人接口”，这个设备可以让你通过看计算机屏幕的特定区域来控制机器人的行动。

"Elderly people don't like using a computer interface, but they can talk with a robot," says Prof Ishiguro.

“老年人虽不喜欢使用人机界面，但他们可以跟机器人聊天。”石黑浩教授还说。

These tasks range from design of the mechanics, sensor system, energy system, computer architecture of the robot, control and navigation algorithms to an adequate operating system and user interface.

这些业务范围从设计的力学、传感器系统、能源系统、计算机体系结构的机器人、控制和导航算法到适当的操作系统和用户界面。

To emulate this kind of behaviour - albeit in a more simplistic fashion - Dr Rao and his team are developing a hierarchical brain-computer interface for controlling the robot.
