Development of human-mobile communication system using electrooculogram signals

Present the development of a human-mobile robot communication system using electrooculogram (EOG) signals. An ideal velocity shape signal processing algorithm is proposed to extract position data where the eyes are focusing on from the noise and drift included in EOG signals. Additionally, an efficient algorithm for the detection of various eye-lip movements such as blink and wink is suggested. Two experiments were performed for the validation of the human-mobile communication system. One is point stabilization of a mobile robot, using extracted eye focusing position data. The other is a moving target following experiment using various eye-lip movements as mobile robot commands.
