Brain Computer Interface for Controlling Mobile Robot

Abstract

This Paper describes a brainwave controlled mobile robot based on brain computer interface (bci). This uses Matlab to analyze the brainwaves. Bci bypass the communication path between brain and computer to establish a communication system in which the data flows directly from brain to physical devices. Bci consists of software and hardware components that allow brain inputs to be translated as controls for machine. The different brain patterns are translated into different machine commands. These obtained commands are used to control the mobile robot. This technology is widely used in neuro-prosthetic devices, which helps people in achieving or improving their capability. . Our intention in this paper is to develop a smart wheelchair which will help disabled people in their mobility. The Bci consists of Neurosky brainwave headset which is connected to computer for extracting the data and to process real time commands, which is then used to control the module.
