Electroencephalogram‐based control of a mobile robot

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents electroencephalogram‐based control of a mobile robot. The purpose of control is to achieve direction control of a mobile robot only by electroencephalogram. We develop an algorithm for directing direction thinking (“going left” or “going right”) and apply it to direction control of a mobile robot. The algorithm is based on time–frequency domain analysis using continuous wavelet transformation. Our experimental results demonstrate the possibility of achieving direction control of a mobile robot only by electroencephalogram. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
