Telepresence for Dolphins

As our technical expertise grows, in terms of interpreting brain waves to control hardware (such as the linked telepresence robot), it behooves us to consider other sources of brain waves than our own. It is widely known that dolphins have highly capable brains, for example.

While I'm not the first to suggest giving dolphins robotic hands, I'm suggesting something somewhat different here. A telepresence robot is an entire body that is remotely controlled. If it was controlled by brain waves, then in theory the brain could control all sorts of things that an ordinary biological body lacks. For example, in terms of humans controlling such a robot, what if the robot was a flying drone? Your body can't fly, but you could mentally tell the drone to move forward or left or ....

So, if a brainwave-controlled telepresence robot for a dolphin was equipped with arms and manipulators, what might the dolphin do with them? To Be Determined, of course!
