Development of an EEG Controlled Wheelchair Using Color Stimuli: A Machine Learning Based Approach
Brain-computer interface (BCI) has extensively been used for rehabilitation purposes. Being in the research phase, the brainwave based wheelchair controlled systems suffer from several limitations, e.g., lack of focus on mental activity, complexity in neural behavior in different conditions, and lower accuracy. Being sensitive to the color stimuli, the EEG signal changes promises a better…
Read More Development and Testing of Intelligent Wheelchair Controller for Quadriplegic Patients
In this research paper, the development and evaluating of a smart controller for electrical powered wheelchairs are presented. The controller aimed to assist quadriplegic, paralyzed, and handicap patients who cannot use their hands to drive an electrical wheelchair by using a joystick controller. Two sub control units have been combined in one hybrid system to…
Read More Collision avoidance between a wheelchair front wheels and a step wall during step climbing using a care robot
This paper discusses a step climbing strategy using a wheelchair and a teleoperated care robot that avoids collisions between the wheelchair’s front wheels and the step wall. In our method, the two vehicles are connected and use the velocity difference between them to climb steps. Since the wheelchair’s front wheels, or another part of the…
Read More Low-cost Hybrid Wheelchair Controller for Quadriplegias and Paralysis Patients
Wheelchair controller design is very important for handicapped users such as quadriplegia, amputee, paralyzed and elderly. The safe use, easiness, and comfort are an important factor that can directly affect the user’s social efficiency and quality of life. In this paper, the design, implementation, and test of a new low-cost hybrid wheelchair controller for quadriplegics…
