Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Electroencephalogram-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer novel ways for individuals to interact with technology without motor control.
  • Brain-actuated wheelchairs are crucial for motor rehabilitation, but existing systems have limitations in calibration or control time.
  • This paper proposes an enhanced mobile platform for brain-actuated wheelchairs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved brain-actuated wheelchair system with enhanced target recognition and control capabilities.
  • To create an intuitive and efficient system for individuals with severe motor disabilities.
  • To facilitate the practical application of BCIs in real-world environments.

Main Methods:

  • An omnidirectional wheelchair, robotic arm, target recognition module (You Only Look Once - YOLO), and auto-control module were integrated.
  • Real-time target recognition and localization were achieved using YOLO.
  • User confirmation of targets was performed via a P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI).
  • An expert system planned task solutions, and an auto-control system managed the wheelchair and robotic arm.

Main Results:

  • The system successfully recognized and located targets in real-time.
  • Users confirmed targets using a P300-based BCI.
  • An expert system and auto-control system jointly operated the wheelchair and robotic arm to complete tasks.
  • Tasks included navigating to a person, passing through a door, and retrieving an object.

Conclusions:

  • The developed brain-actuated smart wheelchair system provides efficient and considerate services.
  • User tests with patients and healthy subjects demonstrated the system's smart and efficient operation.
  • The system requires minimal user commands for effective operation, accelerating BCI application in practical rehabilitation settings.
