Patients server robot using Brain-Computer interface

Abstract

The ability of a person to meet his needs is one of the most important things that he should have in order to practice his normal life. This project addresses the idea of a server robot for people who suffer from disability (paralyzed), so that the robot provides and meets their basic needs (hunger, thirst, pain) without anyone's help. The methodology that we followed in this project is using an EPOC EMOTIV headset, the Python language for programming, in addition to sensors that complement and help the robot. The robot is able to recognize a patient's need by reading his thoughts when he needs a certain thing and to bring the recognized patient's need to him. The long term of our work is to have a nurse robot specific for a patient that is capable of meeting most of the patient's needs even if he does not have it in the same place - applying the Locality principle.
