For years, man has toiled to create a fully functional automatic robot capable of performing the menial tasks we are too lazy to perform. For shame! Our hubris has doomed us all! Honda, the makers of that soulless death machine Asimo, have apparently pioneered new technology that allows a human to control a robot’s actions through thought control alone.
According to this report from CNET,
“[the process] involves a helmet full of electroencephalography and near-infrared spectroscopy sensors that monitor electrical brainwaves and cerebral blood flow, signals that alter slightly during the human thought process. The robot controller thinks of one of a limited number of specific gestures it wants from Asimo, which has been fitted with a Brain Machine Interface.
The data is then analyzed on a real-time basis to distinguish what the user imagined and transmitted wirelessly to the bot, which makes corresponding movements.
Sounds like a bunch of fancy science speak for “we link our brains to robots in a sick and twisted blasphemy against God.” I guess this technology represents a stunning breakthrough in robotics technology and could potentially help thousands of physically disabled individuals lead lives of independence, but at what cost! It won’t be long before these robots are controlling our minds, and then what? You’ll have fully functional, coldly logical killing machines.
But you don’t have to believe me. Just check out this piece from the Detroit Free Press: “Robot Killers Could Choose Victims.”
‘Nuff said.
