Towards robotic re-embodiment using a Brain-and-Body-Computer Interface

Abstract

Early stages in the development of a Brain-and-Body-Computer Interface controlled robot avatar are presented. The robot is aimed at performing well-defined daily tasks upon the choice and on behalf of a user. We built on recent advances in neuroscience, robotics and machine learning to demonstrate that it is possible to control a robot, accurately and reliably, by decoding scalp-recorded non-invasive Electroencephalographic (EEG) potentials into user intentions.
