BMI Systems for Controlling Robotic Arm


A brain machine interface has been developed by the researchers in order to manipulate a robotic arm when the subject’s hands are engaged in the different activities. This new system of the researchers has been published in many news papers in which it is reported that they are efficient in working in testing with volunteers.

There are multiple previous researches by students of Jaipur EngineeringColleges with the help of which researchers developed of BMI systems. In such kinds of systems, a user wears a cap with electrodes and performs an activity such as moving a ball on the table and then this system records the brain wave activity which takes place as soon as the person moves the ball.

In the next demonstration of the researchers, the person have been asked simply to think about the performing various activities so that system could monitor their brain waves and compare them to the earlier stored pattern which was recorded while performing the task.

When the same brain wave pattern is detected by the system, a robotic arm was engaged which is preprogrammed for mimicking the actions of the human activity. This system has been programmed by the researchers in order to reproduce a human activity by suing human thoughts.

As there were multiple prior efforts by the researchers and Top MBA College in Jaipur with BMI systems but they have only focused only on instigating the activity. But in this new study, they have efficiency of a BMI system by considering targeted robotic action while the person is engaged in the other activity.

Their result is the system through which a person can control three limbs at once. In order to test and demonstrate this system, volunteers have been asked to participate in BMI training and using this system for balancing a ball on the flat surface along with use of robotic arm for grabbing and moving an empty bottle. 

It is reported by the researchers that these volunteers have fallen into two different groups which are those who were quite successful to carry out desired tasks and those who were not.
