 Powered by the Mind
This is a brand new piece of drone innovation.  Chinese robotics company EEG Smart's UDrone is controlled by brain waves and head movements via a sensor-laden headset called. UMind.  This new piece of technology is a look into the mind-controlled future and could turn out to be one of the biggest innovations in 2019.  It goes on the market in mid-March for $279.00

Mini-Quadcopter
The UDrone is a lightweight mini-quadcopter with innovative features. It can recognize faces, track subjects and recognize gestures.  It also packs a camera that can stream live video in real-time to your phone.  UDrone can fly 6 to 7 minutes on its battery.  And, you can also fly it using your mobile phone.

UMind Headset
The most fascinating component of this technology is the UMind headset that is loaded with sensors to enable mind control operations.  The sensors include the following:
  • EEG to measure electrical activity in the brain
  • EOG to measure eye movements
  • EMG to measure electrical activity in nerves stimulating muscles
  • Gyroscopic and Accelerometer sensors
The sensors combine to get the drone to do what you want it to do.  Reviewers are saying it may not be perfect but it is amazing.  The mind control mode requires intense concentration and focus by the user.
