چکیده

This paper presents a new method to control and guide mobile robots. In this case, to send different commands we have used electrooculography (EOG) techniques, so that, control is made by means of the ocular position (eye displacement into its orbit). A inverse eye model is developed based in electrooculography and therefore the saccadic eye movements can be detected and know where user is looking. This control technique can be useful in multiple applications, but in this work it is used to guide a autonomous robot (wheelchair) as a system to help to people with severe disabilities. The system consists of a standard electric wheelchair with an on-board computer, sensors and graphical user interface running on a computer.

Familial congenital oculomotor apraxia: clinical and electro-oculographic features.

The electro-oculographic (EOG) features of both horizontal and vertical eye movements in congenital oculomotor apraxia (COMA) were not previously reported. A girl referred to the ophthalmologic department for abnormal eye movements was diagnosed as COMA. The same abnormal ocular movements were observed in her younger sister and her father who was unaware of his difficulties to initiate voluntar...

Electro-oculographic measures in patients with chronic whiplash and healthy subjects: a comparative study.

BACKGROUND Despite their high incidence, costs, and long lasting disability, whiplash associated disorders (WAD) lack an identifiable objective pathology that explains their acute or chronic symptoms. OBJECTIVE In view of previous suggestions of a possible effect of neck torsion on several electro-oculography (EOG) parameters, the main objective of this study was to examine their applicabilit...

Infantile nystagmus. Development documented by eye movement recordings.

PURPOSE To report on the development of infantile nystagmus in a patient's first year of life. METHODS A case study using consecutive photo-oculographic and electro-oculographic eye movement recordings in the subject ranging between 1 and 12 months of age. RESULTS Although no nystagmus was present at 5 weeks of age, square-wave jerks were recorded at 7 weeks, and a small pendular nystagmus ...

Ocular motility in alternating squints: an electro-oculographic study.

Ocular movements were studied electro-oculographically in 10 normal subjects and 10 patients with alternating strabismus. Fixation and pursuit movements and to a less extent the saccadic movements were observed to be abnormal in patients with alternating strabismus. The defect in pursuit movements was shown to be statistically significant. There was no correlation between the extent of ocular m...
