Humanoid robot can read thoughts.

Humanoid robots have learned to understand the thoughts, reports AP. The technology developed by Honda Motor. It is designed for use with the robot Asimo.
Honda Motor engineers have created a special helmet, which is based on an analysis of changes in activity of the brain can determine what people think. Then, the corresponding signal is transmitted to the robot wireless.
However, this technology is imperfect. If a person is distracted, the system may not recognize him, accordingly, the robot does not receive any instructions. In addition, the system of reading the thoughts worked, it is necessary for two to three hours to adjust for each user.
Currently, Honda Motor technology allows the robot Asimo to understand when a person thinks about moving his hands, running or foods. At the signal, and the action of the robot takes a few seconds.
Honda Motors Company is working on humanoid robots in 1986. The first Asimo was demonstrated to the public in 2000. The growth of the robot is 130 centimeters, weight - 54 kilograms.
In summer 2008, Asimo has learned to understand the speech of several people simultaneously. Previously, these robots were taught to work in pairs. In May 2008, Asimo made in the role of the symphony orchestra conductor.
