FlyingBuddy2: a brain-controlled assistant for the handicapped

The motor impaired people have much limit in moving. The devices augmenting their mobility will be much helpful for improving their living experiences. This poster develops a brain-controlled assistive system, called FlyingBuddy2, to aid the handicapped in mobility. It uses the brain EEG signals to directly control a quadrotor. Signals from an EEG headset are transmitted wirelessly to a computer, then the decoded brain signals are converted to trigger the quadrotor to move in 3D space. Three applications are developed: thinking to play games, thinking to see, and thinking to take pictures.
