Development of Hands-free Remote Operation System for a Mobile Robot Using EOG and EMG

Abstract

In this research, a hands-free remote operation system for a mobile robot using electrooculogram (EOG) and electromyogram (EMG) is developed. The EOG and EMG signals are acquired from one set of electrodes on temples and these are separated by bandpass filter. Four control commands of mobile robot motion generated by processed EOG and EMG signals are transmitted to the mobile robot via wireless communication. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed remote operation system.
