University of Washington have experimenting with human students who's heads have been plugged into a computer.
The discovered objects are sent to the Brain-Computer interface, where the subject focuses on the object they want the robot to pick up. The interface works by flashing a tiny border around each image in succession. When the border around the attended-to image flashes, the user’s brain signals register this event. The brain signals are measured noninvasively from the user's scalp, using EEG electrodes.

but the really interesting research that they did and which may be relevant to what us hobbyist going forward is this one:

basically they sampled a real human walking like they do in games and movies and then optimized a dynamic gait such that it corresponds with the sampled data.
