Özet: Brain-computer interface (BCI) system provides communication channel between human brain and external devices. The system processes and translates thought into control signals and thus enabling a user to navigate a robot from one place to another. In this context, we developed a system that enables a user to guide a robot by brain waves. The system consists of an Emotiv Epoc headset, a personal computer, and a mobile robot. The Emotiv Epoc headset attached to the head of the user and used to collect Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The headset picks up brain activities from 14 locations on the scalp and sends them to the computer for processing. Those brain activities can tell the system what a person is going to do in his virtual reality. Then, by using a novel application designed for this purpose, the cognitive suite supplied by Emotiv is responsible for generating the control actions needed to make the robot execute three different commands: turn right, turn left, and move forward. In this paper, hardware and software architectures were designed and implemented. Experimental results indicate that the robot can be successfully controlled in real-time based on the subject’s physiological changes.
