We present an open-source system that will help elderly and people with physical disabilities to use a telepresence robot, by means of brain signals. We use a shared control approach, where the user needs only to concentrate on the final destination, while the robot takes care of obstacle detection and avoidance. We propose a semi-autonomous system based on a potential field approach. The system can be seen as a Deterministic Finite Automaton where data from diffent sensors are merged together.

Abstract

We present an open-source system that will help elderly and people with physical disabilities to use a telepresence robot, by means of brain signals. We use a shared control approach, where the user needs only to concentrate on the final destination, while the robot takes care of obstacle detection and avoidance. We propose a semi-autonomous system based on a potential field approach. The system can be seen as a Deterministic Finite Automaton where data from diffent sensors are merged together.
