Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) can augment astronauts by effectively controlling space robotics and automation. This research identifies optimal human-machine interface (HMI) and application combinations based on latency and throughput performance.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Robotics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) are typically studied for individuals with severe motor impairments.
  • For able-bodied users, BMIs must function as augmenting interfaces, enhancing capabilities rather than compensating for deficits.
  • Space exploration presents unique challenges for human-machine interaction due to environmental factors and task demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a method for identifying effective combinations of human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and space applications.
  • To evaluate the performance of hybrid bionic systems (HBS) using latency and throughput metrics.
  • To determine the suitability of different HMIs for various space robotics and automation tasks.

Main Methods:

  • Classification and description of HMIs and space applications.

  • Performance comparison of HMI classes against application requirements, focusing on latency and throughput.
  • Identification of overlapping regions indicating effective HMI-application pairings.

    • Main Results:

    • Simpler devices like rovers, robotic cameras, and environmental controls are suitable for BMI control.
    • Complex six-degrees-of-freedom devices can be controlled by BMIs, but only at low interactivity levels.
    • Conventional interfaces are required for high-demand applications, with future BMI advancements potentially enabling their control.

    Conclusions:

    • BMI technology is viable for controlling specific, less complex space applications.
    • Robotic arms and manipulators represent a potential future application for noninvasive BMIs.
    • Integrating smart controllers into HBSs can enhance interactivity and expand BMI utilization in space.
