Honda Robotics Division Scientists Develop Helmet Archetype Fitted with Brain Sensors

Feb 1 2011

The Robotics Division of Honda has developed a helmet archetype that can comprehend brain signals.

It has several in-built sensors for deciphering blood flow in the cerebrum and electrical brain signals. The scientists are building soft pads, which can comprehend brainwaves via hair.

Yasuhisa Arai, Scientist of the Honda Research Institute, has mentioned that their helmet could even substitute a car’s steering wheel in another ten years. Soon car drivers would prefer this helmet for supporting easier tasks like controlling wipers and opening the bonnet.

The company has reported that the sensors included in the archetype helmet are tiny enough to be fixed into a normal hat’s lining.

A consultant of motor industry has commented that the driving hat has to be stylish and dependable. Also the hat should include different styles for suiting both men and women.
