Using Eye Blinking for EOG-Based Robot Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a new approach to real-time robot controlling by integrating an Electrooculography (EOG) measuring device within humanrobot interaction (HRI). Our study focuses on controlling robots using EOG for fulfilling elementary robot activities such as basic motor movements and environment interaction. A new EOG-based HRI paradigm has been developed on the specific defined problem of eye blinking. The resulted model is tested using biometric capturing equipment. We propose a simple algorithm for realtime identification and processing of signals produced by eyes during blinking phases. We present the experimental setup and the results of the experiment. We conclude by listing further research issues.

Blinking and eye movement are one of the most important abilities that most people have, even people with spinal cord problem. By using this ability these people could handle some of their activities such as moving their wheelchair without the help of others. One of the most important fields in Human-Robot Interaction is the development of artificial limbs working with brain signals. The purpos...

Bio-based human computer interface (HCI) has attracted more and more attention of researches all over the world in recent years. In this paper, a HCI system which based on electrooculogram (EOG) is proposed. It transforms electrical potentials recorded by horizontal and vertical EOG into a computer in order to control external equipment. The system consists of EOG acquisition unit, EOG pattern ...
متن کاملNeural correlates of eye blinking; improved by simultaneous fMRI and EOG measurement.
Neural correlates of eye blink in healthy human subjects can be investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging. However, the focus of most previous studies has been on intentional eye blinking. The goal of the present study was to examine the neural correlates of spontaneous eye blinking with the help of EOG measurements during data acquisition of fMRI. After the removal of the pulse ...
متن کاملReal–Time Low–Latency Estimation of the Blinking and EOG Signals
Electrooculography biosignals (EOG) are very important for the eye orientation and eyelid movements (blinking) estimation. There are many applications of the EOG signals. Most important applications are related to the medical applications [Duchowski (2007)]. The EOG signal is used for the analysis of eye movement in the selected medical test of the eye related health problems. It is also import...
متن کاملEOG measurement during EPI data aquisition for the event related fMRI of the voluntary eye blinking
The electrooculogram (EOG) of voluntary eye blinking is a distinguishable one among other eye blinking types such as spontaneous or reflexive blinking. In our study, we aimed to measure/detect the EOG of voluntary blinking during Echo Planar Imaging in the MR scanner. After the pulse artifact removal in the EOG signal, the waveform of EOG can clearly show voluntary eye blinking and this was equ...
