This study introduces a shared control system for intelligent wheelchairs, using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals for brain control. The system significantly improved driving performance, even for novice users.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Robotics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Controlling robotic devices with human brain signals is challenging due to complex device operation and nonstationary brain signal instability.
  • Intelligent processing algorithms can enhance control performance in brain-computer interfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a shared control system for an intelligent wheelchair operated via a noninvasive brain interface.
  • To improve the driving performance of users controlling an intelligent wheelchair using brain signals.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a shared control system integrating electroencephalogram (EEG) signal processing with wheelchair motor control.
  • Estimated subjects' steering intentions from noninvasive EEG signals.
  • Compared driving performance with and without the shared control system.
