Brain signals and a wink control a wearable walking robot
Three key points
- A Hanyang University biomedical engineering team and the Hyundai Motor and Kia Robotics Lab controlled the X-ble MEX wearable walking robot in real time with a hybrid brain–computer interface.
- Users choose an action by looking at it in augmented-reality glasses, confirm it with a wink and cancel it by clenching their teeth.
- The study was published in IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering.
Story summary
A Hanyang University biomedical engineering team and the Hyundai Motor and Kia Robotics Lab controlled the X-ble MEX wearable walking robot in real time with a hybrid brain–computer interface. Users choose an action by looking at it in augmented-reality glasses, confirm it with a wink and cancel it by clenching their teeth. In tests with 10 healthy adults, brain-signal action selection averaged 95.06% accuracy. The study was published in IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering.
