Research Abstract |
In this study, we have made a mobile robotic arm that can contain in a briefcase. The experimental results showed that using the mobile robotic arm system a person suffering from muscular dystrophy could drink water. We also recorded event related potentials of an able-bodied subject, processed and analyzed the measured data. It was found that we could obtain an average rate of accuracy of 71 % on both electrodes C4 and Pz. A rate of accuracy above 90 % should be needed to appropriately manipulate the mobile robotic arm for our future work.
