Abstract

Advances in robotic control have revolutionized assistive technologies for individuals with upper limb amputations. Daily tasks, which are often complex or time-consuming, can be challenging without assistance. Traditional assistive devices often demand significant physical effort and lack versatility, limiting user independence. In response, the Brain-Driven Robotic Arm project aims to develop an advanced assistive device that allows individuals with disabilities to control a robotic arm using their brain signals. Utilizing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology with electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, the system processes brain activity to generate commands for the robotic arm, offering a more intuitive and efficient assistive solution. The experimental setup integrates the 6-DOF Yahboom DOFBOT Robotic Arm Kit with the 14-Channel EPOC X EEG Headset, where the system control is managed via Python software, using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm for AI-driven tasks.
