Electroencephalogram-based control of a mobile robot

Abstract

This paper describes electroencephalogram-based control of a mobile robot. The control purpose is to achieve direction control of a mobile robot only by electroencephalogram. We develop an algorithm for detecting direction thinking ('going left' or 'going right') and apply it to direction control of a mobile robot. The detecting algorithm is based on time-frequency domain analysis using continuous wavelet transformation. Our experimental results demonstrate the possibility of achieving direction control of a mobile robot only by electroencephalogram.
