Robotic Legs & Cars

Monkey brain signals have been mapped by electrodes and are able to control robotic legs on the other side of the world.

While these legs don't control themselves like the cars did in "Darpa's Urban Challenge". This was a race where robotic cars had to finish a course and overcome traffic situations, the kind we deal with every day. The cars had to be completely autonomous, without outside interference/help.



We're not there yet, but robots do seem to become a lost smarter and it won't take that long anymore before they'll be playing an active party in our everyday lives.
