      Hi Nathan.

      There are some labs that have developed ways of artificial systems understanding brain waves etc., but I know not of any robots that have been directly connected to a brain. I think you may be able to imagine a situation, where if we were able to do, patients who have ‘locked in’ syndrome, or those with a physical disability may be able to upload their brains into an avatar – much like the movie of the same name! 🙂
