At the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing, a wearable, non-invasive brain-computer interface allowed users to steer a wheelchair and operate a robotic hand without moving or speaking.

Developed by a team at Yanshan University in north China's Hebei Province, the system uses electroencephalography (EEG) to record and decode brain activity, turning the signals into commands for items, including robotic arms and hands.

It is designed to help people with limited mobility gain greater independence in daily life.
