7、nwavespicked up by a cap with electrodes(电极) that sense the signals and reflect a persons instructionsscientists can instruct a humanoid(类人的) robot to move to specific locations and pick up certain objects.The commands are limited to moving forward,picking up one of two objects and bringing it to on
8、e of two locations.The researchers have achieved 94 percent accuracy between the thought commands and the robots movements.“This is really a proofofconcept demonstration,” said Rajesh Rao,a researcher from the University of Washington who leads the project.“It suggests that one day we might be able
9、to use semiautonomous robots for such jobs as helping disabled people or performing routine tasks in a persons home.”The person wearing the electrode cap watches the robots movements on a computer screen through two cameras installed on and above the robot.When the robots cameras see the objects tha
10、t are to be picked up they pass on the information to the users computer screen.Each object lights up randomly on the computer screen.When a person wants something picked up and it happens to light up,the brain registers surprise and sends this brain activity to the computer and then to the robot.Th
11、e robot then proceeds to pick up the object.A similar algorithm(计算程序) is used to decide where the robot will go.“One of the important things about this demonstration is that were using a noisy brain signal to control the robot,” Rao said.“That means we can only obtain brain signals indirectly from s
12、ensors on the surface of the head,not where they are generated deep in the brain.As a result,the user can only generate highlevel commands such as indicating which object to pick up or which location to go to,and the robot needs to be autonomous enough to be able to execute such commands.”In the fut

17、s a downloadable book that can be put right onto your ereader, certain cellphones and computers. There are websites that sell ebooks where you can buy them and load them right onto whatever device you choose. The ebook makes it possible to take reading with you, without the mess of carrying dozens o
18、f books around with you.However, not all book authors are okay with having their books in digital format. The creator of Harry Potter says that her books will never be an ebook, and many just like her feel the same way. However, there are lots of authors who absolutely love the idea and feel its the
19、 next step to keep books alive.The ebook can be loaded onto an ereader which is a minidevice that is slim and small just like a cellphone. It usually has a touch pad screen and can hold a few hundred books. Thats perfect news for people who travel on planes or go on holidays and would love to take a
20、 collection with them but wouldnt carry fifty hard covers.The other great thing about ereaders is that you can read ebooks on them quickly and theres no need for two hands to hold the book and turn the page; it is more convenient for people to read it. Most of them also have a night light, so if you
21、 want to read at night but dont want a big light on to wake your partner, the ereader is ideal.Websites that sell ebooks have their sites looking just like ordinary book store websites. There is a list for bestsellers and a new release (发行) section. There is also clearance ebooks on sale and gift ce
