Playing with Robots Using Your Brain

Abstract

The use of EEG (electroencephalography) has been perceived as an interesting tool for people with motor disabilities to control a sort of electronic devices like robotic wheelchairs, exoskeletons, robotic arms, computers, among others. This kind of BCI (Brain Computer Interface) can be useful to help those people to carry out daily chores as well as to engage in recreational activities, like playing games, just for fun or as a way of performing the necessary training for the mental control of electronic devices in a playful way. In this sense, this paper presents a proposal for a Hot and Cold game using a Turtlebot3 Waffle robot and an EMOTIV Insight 5 channel mobile EEG.
