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 neural network is used to identify the inverse eye model, 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. Keyword: Electrooculographic potential (EOG), neural networks, control system, handicapped people, wheelchair.

E.O.G. guidance of a weelchair using spiking neural networks

In this paper we present a new architecture of spiking neural networks (SNNs) to control the movements of a wheelchair. 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). Spatiotemporal coding that combines spatial constraints with temporal sequencing is of great i...

Using neural networks to predict road roughness

When a vehicle travels on a road, different parts of vehicle vibrate because of road roughness. This paper proposes a method to predict road roughness based on vertical acceleration using neural networks. To this end, first, the suspension system and road roughness are expressed mathematically. Then, the suspension system model will identified using neural networks. The results of this step sho...

Gyroscope Random Drift Modeling, using Neural Networks, Fuzzy Neural and Traditional Time- series Methods

In this paper statistical and time series models are used for determining the random drift of a dynamically Tuned Gyroscope (DTG). This drift is compensated with optimal predictive transfer function. Also nonlinear neural-network and fuzzy-neural models are investigated for prediction and compensation of the random drift. Finally the different models are compared together and their advantages a...
