Abstract
This paper describes the development of a system whereby one can control a mobile robot by using the components of his/her brain wave bio-potentials. Such a system may be used as a control device employing human eye-movements, facial muscle, and brain wave bio-potentials. As inputs, biofeedback is provided by indications on a computer screen so the human operator can practice his/her inputs before applying them to the control of a mobile robot. The operator's forehead bio-potentials can be acquired and processed in Cyberlink (TM) as mobile robot control source signals. The computer analyzes an operator's EEG (electroencephalographic), EOG (electrooculographic), and EMG (electromyographic) signals in real time. This analyzation is achieved by periodically checking EEG, EOG and EMG signals in real-time. The results are used to control a mobile robot. Operators performed successfully, with accuracy of the control improving with training. The experimental results suggest that a mobile robot can be operated by human brain wave bio-potentials.
