Paralysis is one amongst the major neural disorder that causes loss of motion of one or more muscles of the body, where in depending on the cause, it may affect a specific muscle group or region of the body or a larger area may be involved. In pursuit of rehabilitation, the eye can be regarded as one of the organs that can help a paralyzed person to communicate suitably. The Brain Signals of such patients can be used to help them communicate to others and also to perform various tasks by providing necessary infrastructure and training. This project describes the acquisition and analysis of Brain signals for operating a robot having a robotic arm mounted on top of it. The proposed method here uses a minimum number of electrodes for obtaining the brain signals using EEG Headsets available in the market and then control a robot based on the levels of these brain signals which can be varied by varying the states of mind. The EEG Headset detects the signals and generates a discrete value. This value is then sent over Bluetooth to a PC/ Laptop for further processing and plotting using MATLAB. After processing the actions to be performed are sent over ZIGBee to the ARM Microcontroller that controls the robot as well as the robotic arm mounted on the robot.

This paper proposes two paradigms for controlling a robotic arm by integrating Electrooculography (EOG) and Electroencephalography (EEG) recording techniques. The purpose of our study is to develop a feasible paradigm for helping disabled persons with their every-day needs. Using EOG, the robotic arm is placed at a desired location and, by EEG, the end-effector is controlled for grasping the object from the selected location. Simple algorithms were implemented for detecting electrophysiological signals like eye saccades, blinking and eye closure events. Preliminary results of this study are presented and compared.

There are approximately 21 million disabled folks in India, which is equivalent to 2.2% of the total population. These disabled individuals are impacted by numerous neuromuscular disorders. To enable them to express themselves, one can supply them with alternative and augmentative communication. For this, a Brain Computer Interface system (BCI) has been put together to deal with this particular need. The fundamental presumption of the project reports the design, building as well as a testing imitation of a man's arm which is designed to be dynamically as well as kinematically accurate. The delivered device tries to resemble the motion of the biological human hand by analyzing the signals produced by brain waves. The brain waves are actually sensed by sensors in the Neurosky headset and generate alpha, beta, and gamma signal. Then this signal is analyzed by the microcontroller and is then inherited on to the synthetic hand via servo motors. A patient that suffers from an amputee below the elbow can gain from this particular bio robotic arm.
EEG based Brain Computer Interface (BCI) can be classified as one of the new communication channel that exists between the Human & Computers only through the biological signals by avoiding the use of muscular activity in association for executing different applications involved in it. There are many available technologies & interfaces that are facilitating in reading the bio-electrical signals from human brain associated with explicit commands in controlling various devices. In this work, a technological based application is developed in bringing an engineering solution in development of a conceptual framework, as a part of enhancement in remote controlled communication of a robot through Brain (EEG) signals interacted by the end-users.
This brain controlled robot is based on Brain-computer interfaces (BCI). BCIs are systems that can bypass conventional channels of communication (i.e., muscles and thoughts) to provide direct communication and control between the human brain and physical devices by translating different patterns of brain activity into commands in real time. With these commands a mobile robot can be controlled. The intention of the project work is to develop a robot that can assist the disabled people in their daily life to do some work independent on others.

This paper presented a new unobtrusiveness non-invasive technique for controlling, hardware developed microcontroller-based, robot Arm using Brain EEG signal processing. The system can help the paralyzed arm patients, who have severe disabilities, to control robots that can help them in daily living activities. Also the robot can be used to simulate the desired human arm’s movements in situation where there are difficult or dangerous conditions that human’s arm cannot act under it in many real systems applications. Fast Fourier Transform FFT is used for feature extraction. Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network trained by a standard back propagation algorithm is used as a classifier to classify 4 different arm movements intention which are: Shoulder up, Shoulder down elbow up and elbow down. The proposed technique produced high classification rates of 80%, 90%, 80% and 80% for the 4 different movements respectively. Two channels only are used, in our experiment, F4 which located at t...

Human brain consists of millions of interconnected neurons. The pattern of interaction between these neurons is represented as thoughts and emotional states. According to the human thoughts, this pattern will be changing which in turn produce different electrical waves. Muscle contraction also generates unique electrical signals. All these electrical waves will be sensed by the brain wave sensor and converts the data into packets and transmits through Bluetooth medium. The brain wave raw data is sent to the computer and it will extract and process the signal using MATLAB platform. Then the control commands will be transmitted to the robot module to process. With this entire system, we can move a robot based on the human thoughts and it can be turned by blink muscle contraction.

The aim of the project is to enhance the interactivity for controlling a mind-controlled Robotic ARM using Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology in an open-source environment by adding a virtual world input, enabling users to interact with the real world and making the entire process more user-friendly. The project proposes a new solution for human-robot interaction by incorporating a smart chip implanted in the radial nerve of the human brain, replacing the current EEG wearable helmet. The chip will contain EEG technology and a Bluetooth extension, allowing for real-time, non-invasive control of the robotic arm through EEG signals captured by the BCI technology. The Bluetooth extension will provide wireless communication capabilities, enabling physically challenged individuals to perform day-to-day activities with greater ease and independence. The use of the smart chip in the radial nerve provides a more natural and intuitive method of control compared to the current EEG wearable helmet, as the implantation of the chip allows for real-time, non-invasive control of the robotic arm through EEG signals captured by the BCI technology.

Electrooculography is a technique for measuring the resting potential of the retina. The resulting signal is called the electrooculogramThe bio-potential signal also is one of the examples of human-machine interface using of nonverbal information such as electrooculography (EOG), electromyography (EMG), and electroencephalography (EEG) signals. The EOG and EMG signals are physiological changes; but here we are focusing the mainly on EOG signals for the human-machine interface. This papert has investigated that different EOG signals obtained from four different places around eye; (right, left, up, and down) have led to different level of distance and rotation of wheelchair. Those four signals are correspond to different levels of right and left steer, forward and backward motion. There are many research that have concentrated in making use of the eye movement signals for tetraplegia. Despite of all the complexity that arises when analyzing the eye movement signals. In this case the constraints are made such that the eye movement is assumes to be very limited to; (straight-to-up, straight-todown, straight-to-right and straight-to-left). The issue of other eye movement patterns.
