Real time Brain Control Interfaced AU Pair BIMA Bot

Abstract

Brain Control Interface (BCI) is an upcoming framework, which is thriving in various fields. Biorobot Interface Manipulated Assistant (BIMA) is a robot, designed to be as an Au-Pair. Interfacing the EEG signals with a machine or like a robot is a tough task when done at realtime. Brainsense is a single electrode EEG headband which has a wireless inbuilt module. The raw EEG waves are transformed into machine language by TGAM with ASIC module. These transformed EEG data is called eSense values and it varies for each individual. For each person the eSense value is found and it is fed to the controller of the BIMA Bot which does the assigned work according to the programmed microcontroller. RMS Maximus 24 Portable EEG machine is also used in this research which has a wired transmission module. Values from both are compared and analyzed after acquiring the EEG signals. Around 207 EEG data samples of which 100 are Male and 107 Female have been taken twice within 3 months and analyzed how one arm, pick and place, four wheeled movable wireless BIMA Bot works to each individual. newlineAnalysis is been done by categorizing the samples into different age groups, gender and transmission for both RMS Maximus EEG Machine and Brainsense Headband. According to the Brain waves e- Sense values values are obtained which is fed to the microcontroller unit in BIMA Bot. This shows how the BIMA Bot works for each criteria. One of the main advantage is the cost of this EEG setup is very less compared to other EEG acquiring machine. And the other major aspect is using only one electrode to move a wireless robot in an external environment when compared to other many electrodes and wired Brain control interface Robotic machine. The supply and demand issue in elder care is a supply and demand issue. The number of carers does not rise in lockstep with the growth of the elderly population. The term quotbedridden patientquot refers to someone who is confined to bed due to illness or old age. Caring for someone who is confined to a bed is a difficult resp
