Scientists develop ‘psychic robot’ that can predict our actions

The robots are coming. They’re taking our jobs, driving our cars, and soon they might even wage war on us. Well, at least they can’t read our minds yet, right? Oops, nope, that one’s out too.

A so-called ‘psychic robot’ has been developed by bioengineers in the US, using a mathematical algorithm that can supposedly predict what we’re about to do. The software doesn’t actually read human minds per se, but it can reportedly calculate our intentions based on our previous activity – even if a particular action is interrupted.

For example, you’re reaching for something on your desk, but your hand collides with an unexpected obstacle that prevents you from grabbing it. Another person watching would be able to guess your intended motion and trajectory, but could a robot?

To test the theory, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago experimented with this very scenario, tracking and analysing the movement of people’s hands as they reached for an object on a virtual desk – but had their movement interrupted by an opposing force.
