Abstract

Abstract Rehabilitation devices are increasingly being used to improve the quality of the life of differentially abled people. Human Machine Interface (HMI) have been studied extensively to control electromechanical rehabilitation aids using biosignals such as EEG, EOG and EMG etc. among the various biosignals, EOG signals have been studied in depth due to the occurrence of a definite signal pattern. Persons suffering from extremely limited peripheral mobility like paraplegia or quadriplegia usually have the ability to coordinate eye movements. The current project focuses on the development of a prototype motor wheelchair controlled by EOG signals. EOG signals were used to generate control signals for the movement of the wheelchair. As a part of this work an EOG signal acquisition system was developed. The acquired EOG signal was then processed to generate various control signals depending upon the amplitude and duration of signal components. These control signals were then used to control the movements of the prototype motorized wheelchair model.
