Abstract

In this paper, a new BMI (Brain Machine Interface) based RHC (Receding Horizon Control) method is proposed. The method is designed intending to apply to control of the wheelchair, since the wheelchair is considered as one of a most significant man-machine system for handicapped persons in the contemporary society. The wheelchair system by using the proposed method is constructed with the RHC controller, the adaptive DA converter and the BMI based on the EEG (Electroencephalogram). A numerical example is also included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
