Robotic dogs are getting more agile and smarter all the time. The latest versions can perform backflips and even balance on two limbs. East China University of Science and Technology researchers have taken it to the next level by coming up with a brain-control interface for robot dogs.

This mixed reality brain-computer interface system is based on an EEG headset. The operator also uses an MR headset to communicate with the robot. For instance, it is possible to trigger flashing squares by clenching teeth and select an option by looking at it. The above video from China Daily shows how this works.
