Brain-Controlled Wheelchairs: A Robotic Architecture

Independent mobility is central to being able to perform activities of daily living by oneself. However, power wheelchairs are not an option for many people who, due to severe motor disabilities, are unable to use conventional controls. For some of these people, noninvasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a promising solution to this interaction problem.
