It is a fact that robots are learning to walk, manipulate objects, and even converse with people in increasingly natural ways; however, despite advances in artificial intelligence, robots still struggle to interpret human thoughts and translate them into reliable actions.

Instead of interpreting pre-programmed words or commands, the system seeks to understand what the person intends to do at that moment; once that intention is identified, it is converted into digital commands capable of controlling various types of robots. During demonstrations, the platform was used to control robotic arms, humanoid robots, and even robotic dogs. In one example, a mechanical arm successfully identified the user's intent and grasped objects—such as an apple or a cup—using only signals captured via EEG; however, according to BrainCo itself, the technology's greatest potential may not lie in controlling hands.
