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.

    ABSTRACT: This paper presents a study on electroencephalogram (EEG)-based control of an electric wheelchair. The objective is to control the direction of an electric wheelchair using only EEG signals. In other words, this is an attempt to use brain signals to control mechanical devices such as wheelchairs. To achieve this goal, we have developed a recursive training algorithm to generate recognition patterns from EEG signals. Our experimental results demonstrate the utility of the proposed recursive training algorithm and the viability of accomplishing direction control of an electric wheelchair by only EEG signals.
