VOLUNTARY CONTROL FOR PEOPLE WITH MOTOR DISABILITIES
A large population of the world is suffering from various motor disabilities and is not able to have voluntary control over muscular activities. There is a need to design a wheelchair to provide easy maneuverability for such people and improve their quality of life.
Solution
To address this issue, for the capstone project during my bachelor's in Electronics Engineering, we designed and manufactured an EEG-EOG-based Hybrid wheelchair that is lighter, cost-effective, and controlled using brain-wave signals and eye-blinks for motion.
