This paper represents an operation method of a mobile robot by using biological signals corresponding to eye and facial muscle movements. In this method the mobile robot is operated through an interface build on a computer. This interface has several buttons corresponding to robot commands and sends the robot command when a mouse pointer goes onto one of the buttons. Mouse movement and click are related to EOG (Electro Oculo Graphic) and EMG (Electro Myo Graphic), the biological signal, respectively. A CCD camera is added on to the mobile robot and obtained image is displayed for the operator to increasing manipulability. Experimental results about manipulability through this operation method suggest great potential for controlling a wide variety of machines using biological signals.
