This robot learns by reading your mind

Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Boston University collaborated to design a system that combines neuroscience and machine learning to create a mind-reading robot. This robot can read your mind to learn if it is right or wrong. According to Forbes, "The researchers created a system that allows a robot to correct its mistakes in real time when a human observer notices that a mistake is being made. The observer just sits there and watches; she doesn't physically interact with the robot or anything else. If the observer recognizes that a mistake is occurring, the robot changes course and does the right thing."
