In this paper we present
a new method to guide mobile robots. An eye-control device based on electro-oculography
(EOG) is designed to develop a system for assisted mobility. Control is
made by means eye movements detected using electro-oculographic potential.
Using an inverse eye model, the saccadic eye movements can be detected
and know where the user is looking. This control technique can be useful
in multiple applications, but in this work it is used to guide a wheelchair
for helping people with severe disabilities. The system consists of a
standard electric wheelchair, an on-board computer, sensors and a graphical
user interface. Finally, we comment on some experimental results and conclusions
about electro-oculographic guidance using ocular commands. |
