Brain Computer Interface (BCI) For Controlling Path Planning Mobile Robots: A Review

Abstract

There are many methods to control a mobile robotic system depending on the users of these systems and their preferences. Using Electroencephalography (EEG) of brain activity to command the mobile robotic system is one of the unique ways. Specially for users suffering from disabilities or having spinal cord injury (SCI). in this work the robots with shared control of BCI and robot intelligence are reviewed. Path planning is one of the features that improves the quality of the systems since it allows robot to be more independent from the user instantaneous diversion by BCI. According to the performance these systems have the advantages over other systems in assisting the user. These systems are easier to be used and with safer and smother movements.
