Mind Controlled Robotic Arm

Electro Encephalo Gram based Brain-Computer Interface robotic arm can help as a powerful support for severely disabled people in their regular activities, especially to aid them to move their arm voluntarily. This paper proposes and implements a brain signal (mind) controlled robotic arm to yield different movements in robotic arm. The scheme uses a single electrode pair acquisition scheme, microcontroller based robotic arm module. The key lies in the mapping of the EEG signal to the robotic arm to achieve the objective. In this project we are developing a cost effective BCI robotic arm that will help the physically challenged to lead an independent life with the help of their brain signals using non-invasive techniques.
