They&#8217;re real now at China&#8217;s Xi&#8217;an Jiaotong University. Just think &#8220;forward&#8221; \u2014 and the robot dog moves. Professor Xu Guanghua&#8217;s team made it happen with the non-invasive brain-computer interface technology. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FutureChina?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FutureChina<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3pIL7FffRv\">pic.twitter.com\/3pIL7FffRv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 China Xinhua Sci-Tech (@XHscitech) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/XHscitech\/status\/2038219642016350469?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 29, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The solution is based on non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. It captures neural activity signals using special sensors, allowing precise control of mechanical devices.<\/p>\n<p>Xu <a href=\"https:\/\/english.news.cn\/20260329\/9f542613942b45bf91226d4f6f15ac17\/c.html\">described<\/a> the system as a kind of &#8220;remote control in the mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When a user forms an intention like &#8220;move forward,&#8221; the brain generates corresponding <span data-descr=\"electroencephalogram\" class=\"old_tooltip\">EEG<\/span> signals. The system collects and decodes them, identifies the intended command, converts it into a control instruction, and sends it to the robot dog, which executes the task.<\/p>\n<p>At the current stage, the solution supports 11 basic commands such as moving forward, backward, and turning. The recognition accuracy exceeds 95%, and the delay between thought and action is about one second.<\/p>\n<p>Invasive BCI technologies offer high accuracy but require surgical implantation in the brain. This carries certain risks of injury, infection, immune rejection, and signal quality degradation over time.<\/p>\n<p>Guanghua&#8217;s approach is considered safer, more economical, and user-friendly. However, non-invasive signals are less precise, complicating continuous and fine real-time control.<\/p>\n<p>The team decided to apply a hybrid approach, employing a human-machine collaboration model.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Humans are responsible only for formulating high-level intentions like &#8216;where to go.&#8217; Meanwhile, high-precision, high-speed, and repetitive tasks such as autonomous navigation, environmental perception, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and movement execution are performed by the machines&#8217; own intelligent systems,&#8221; said Guanghua.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This approach enhances the efficiency and stability of the solution, allowing it to overcome limitations associated with the accuracy of non-invasive signals.<\/p>\n<p>The scientist noted that the development of BCI requires regular breakthroughs in basic technologies and deep integration with advanced fields such as artificial intelligence and autonomous navigation.<\/p>\n<p>According to Guanghua, the robot dog could become a valuable assistant for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in March, the <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/experts-predict-imminent-breakthrough-in-chinas-brain-computer-interfaces\">ZGC Forum<\/a> was held in Beijing from the 25th to the 29th, where developers showcased a wide range of BCI products\u2014from specialized chips to rehabilitation systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Xi&#8217;an Jiaotong University, Professor Xu Guanghua&#8217;s team has devised a method to control a robot dog using thought power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":95744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"1","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"Professor Xu Guanghua's team controls a robot dog with thought power.","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[438,1812],"class_list":["post-95743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-brain-computer-interface-bci"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"54","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"1","short_excerpt":"Professor Xu Guanghua's team controls a robot dog with thought power.","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95743"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95743\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95745,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95743\/revisions\/95745"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
