I know that this occured a little while ago (like 2 years ago), but still, remote controlled humans are AWESOME!

 

It works via Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation and it was developed in Japan. pretty much, you wear headphones and you can steer human being with a remote.

 

Ideas for use involve video games to medical uses for restoring movement in limbs.

 

Oh, and here's a experiment done a little while ago where they steered blindfolded humans remotely (Subscription is needed though): http://www.nature.com/news/2006/060807/full/news060807-3.html

 

Here's a video on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf0E9llkZIU

 

So, when do you think I'll have my very own remotely controlled human :D ?

I seem to recall reading about something similar. It involved a similar type of stimulation, but to the brain instead of the ear. It allowed researchers to move people, and when questioned, the people made all sorts of excuses as to why they moved.
