Brain-Controlled for Changing Modular Robot Configuration by Employing Neurosky’s Headset

Abstract

Currently, the Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) system was designed mostly to be implemented for control purpose or navigation which are mostly being employed for mobile robot, manipulator robot and humanoid robot by using Motor Imagery. This study presents an implementation of BCI system to Modular Self-Reconfigurable (MSR) Dtto robot so the robot able to propagate multiple configurations based on EEG-based brain signals. In this paper, a Neurosky’s Mindwave Mobile EEG headset is being used and a framework of controlling the Dtto robot by EEG signals, processed by OpenViBE software are built. The connection being established between Neurosky’s headsets to the OpenViBE, where a Motor Imagery BCI is created to receive and process the EEG data in real time. The main idea for system developed is to associate a direction (Left, Right, Up and Down) based on Hand and Feet Motor Imagery as a command for Dtto robot control. The Direction from OpenViBE were sent via Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) and transmitted via Python software to Arduino controller in the robots. To test the system performance, this study was conducted in Real time experiments. The results are being discussed in this paper.
