Human-robot cooperation via brain computer interface

Abstract

This work proposes an approach for performing Human-Robot Cooperation (HRC) tasks by integrating a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) with a robotic manipulator. In detail, the user can select one among six different objects via BCI, which analyzes the P300 signals generated by the brain when the images of the selectable objects appear on the screen. Then, the selected object is recognized by a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier, which scans the data acquired by the robot camera. Finally, the recognized object is grasped by the robotic arm and moved to a different position.
