Design and Validation of Control Interfaces for Anna
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis project improves the control mechanisms for a semi-autonomous wheelchair with an assistive robotic arm system. The wheelchair is aimed at increasing the self-sufficiency of individuals with LIS. The objectives include the validation of the existing control interfaces, as well as the integration and design of new systems. The wireless brain-computer headset, used to implement the control system for navigation, is validated through several user studies. An EMG sensor system serves as an alternative control module. To increase physical interaction with the environment, a robotic arm system is integrated. The system includes a RGB-D camera for object detection, enabling autonomous object retrieval. The project outcomes include a demonstration performing navigation and manipulation tasks.
