BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE FOR CONTROL OF ELECTRO–HYDRAULIC SERVO DRIVE
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of the study was to perform bioelectric signal analysis focusing on its applicability to control of the electro-hydraulic servo drive. The natural bioelectric signals generated by brain, facial muscles and eye muscles read by the NIA (Neural Impulse Actuator) are translated into control commands in the controller of electro-hydraulic servo drive. Bioelectric signals detected by means of special forehead band with three sensors are sent to the actuator box, where they are interpreted as control signals. The test stand was constructed to control of the electro-hydraulic servo drive by means of bioelectric signals generated by the operator. The control signals from the actuator box are transmitted via a wireless network to the controller of electro-hydraulic positioning drive.<br/><br/>

Evaluation of different approaches to 3d numerical model development of the contact zone between elementary asperities and flat surface
This paper presents two triaxial finite element (FE) models: a “full model” and a “quarter model”, representing the contact between the specimen’s rough surface and the ideally smooth and flat surface of the punch. Model...
