Über dieses Buch
Smart Wheelchairs and Brain-Computer Interfaces: Mobile Assistive Technologies combines the fields of neuroscience, rehabilitation and robotics via contributions from experts in their field to help readers develop new mobile assistive technologies. It provides information on robotics, control algorithm design for mobile robotics systems, ultrasonic and laser sensors for measurement and trajectory planning, and is ideal for researchers in BCI. A full view of this new field is presented, giving readers the current research in the field of smart wheelchairs, potential control mechanisms and human interfaces that covers mobility, particularly powered mobility, smart wheelchairs, particularly sensors, control mechanisms, and human interfaces.
- Presents the first book that combines BCI and mobile robotics
- Focuses on fundamentals and developments in assistive robotic devices which are commanded by alternative ways, such as the brain
- Provides an overview of the technologies that are already available to support research and the development of new products

Abstract
A communication channel between a person and a machine could be defined as human–machine interface (HMI). There are many kinds of HMI but when the communication is established between the brain and a computer, it is known as a brain–computer interface (BCI). The BCI technology has been developed in the last 30 years but further improvements are needed in order to ensure safety and better performances. Nevertheless, a BCI can successfully command a smart-wheelchair. A smart-wheelchair (or robotic-wheelchair) has sensors and the ability to navigate in some environments, such as in-home environments. Then, people with severe disabilities can command a smart-wheelchair directly from his brain. This chapter is an introduction to basic concepts related to BCIs, such as components of a BCI, users, diseases, paradigms, and measures of the performance. These topics are explained in detail in the following chapters of the book.

To communicate directly with a machine is a common and simple task if you are in a science fiction movie. Thus, you would be able to deliver commands to that machine and even talk with it. In the famous movie, The Matrix, the main character enabled a direct communication from his brain to a computer system. In these science fiction movies, the characters send commands to a machine, which are interpreted and executed as they are really wanted. This raises two questions: the first, how a machine can interpret and evaluate the instructions delivered by a person? And second, how can it execute the instructions in order to achieve the desired results? These two simple questions are very hard to answer and, represent a difficult challenge to overcome by real science.
Nowadays, we are far away from this kind of technology; however, in the last 20 or 30 years advances in many areas had driven the development of new technologies. The human–machine interface (HMI) technology is one of them. In a wide sense, an HMI is a nexus between a p...
