Brain Robotics Interface

#AusArmy is exploring the use of brain signals to control robotic and autonomous systems.

The Robotic and Autonomous Systems Implementation & Coordination Office (#RICO) is nested within our Future Land Warfare Branch and works closely with industry and stakeholders.

Together we endeavor to transform the protection and efficiency of our defence forces in an increasingly accelerated environment that demands technological changes.

Through this collaboration we are testing the realm of possibilities that will ensure we are #FutureReady.

All fun and games until Mozzie hacks the drone and steals it tho

I've worked in biosignal decomposition, it's very tricky inputting gradients, easier for on-off switching of parameters.
The sensors we used weren't the most sophisticated, so some part of the full spectrum info was being lost as noise.
Imagine this as toggling something between fully on and fully off, instead of being able to go somewhere in the middle of on and off.
If they can actually do that effectively with sensor linking/control schema and a bit of training the human wearing the tech, maybe we'll see some awesome stuff.
I can imagine a version of this being used with loyal wingman drones, where a pilot is flying a fighter and 4-5 fighter drones around are commanded by him in real time.

The beginning of the merger of robots becoming our own limb

I saw footage Black Hornet drone while small and portable it still used a two hand console. The BRI with the right drones/robots coud be very useful on recon or urban combat. This seems to fit along side the RAAF and RAN bigger AI robots.

How does it tell what thoughts are directed commands? What about intrusive thoughts????

[jmichos]

Interesting and not limited to this application. VR use in air combat sims such as DCM can be extended so that pilots can fly a real mission in a real plane in the same way a drone like a reaper is controlled by its pilot but with far more control and situational awareness.

Now this i like 😮. Makes you wonder what we could oneday do with nuro link. All the amazing possibilities 😊 cyber punk 2077 here we come 😏

[spookyrays]

where are the rest of the electrodes necessary for this to function? In the headset? On the forehead and back of head? What are these graphene sensors? are those not just reference electrodes?

[asterlofts]

This remaind me the IVAS (Integrated Visual Augumentation System).

[LuMaxQFPV]

It MUST become a 2 way data link at some point, or it will never work beyond novelty.
The human needs to be able to think a command, and instantly receive confirmation feedback of successful command receipt AND moment by moment status. Only this model will work. With this model, the human would be able to practice and eventually control multiple bots all at once, with ease and without excessive concentration needed.

The insanely overly dramatic music really kills the video for me

[johndean]

Since when did they start allowing beards again in the Army? I know some SGTs used to be allowed them like the old Pioneer SGTs but it wasn’t that long ago when you could not grow one.

[questioneverythingalways]

Haha, the tests of old showed how easy these systems are to fool. Better money to be spent on solider training for urban environments.

Unmute the audio next time. Lol.

[planB-john]

Why show the “enemy” the tools and technology we possess? Let them find out the hard way, when or if needed. And I hope it doesn’t come down to that. It’s seem every time we come up with something it goes straight to YouTube or some other platform . Just saying.

Some Australian military leadership could use some more brain and less virtue signalling

[hztn]

We need hundreds such things for demining in Ukraine. There is newest mines here, who detect humans steps and blow in air...
