Hybrid BCI based control strategy of the intelligent wheelchair manipulator system

In order to help the elderly and disabled people to improve the quality of life, a control strategy of the intelligent wheelchair manipulator system based on hybrid BCI is developed in this paper. Based on brain electrophysiology (EEG) signals, a shared control system of bionic manipulator is designed and a motion planning of the mobile platform is put forward. The cooperation mechanism between human and the intelligent wheelchair manipulator arm is constructed to realize the interaction between control information and wheelchair arm sensing information. Experimental results indicated that the hybrid BCI based control strategy of the intelligent wheelchair manipulator performs well to help people.
