Controlling a Wheelchair Indoors Using Thought
Abstract
The idea of controlling objects or machines through thought is moving from science fiction to reality. This article presents the first working prototype of a brain-controlled wheelchair that can navigate in a typical office or hospital environment. The wheelchair is based on a slow but safe brain-controlled interface using the P300 signal detected from electroencephalography. The authors adapted the system's control strategy to the interface's measured performance. To circumvent the problem caused by the interface's low information rate, a motion guidance strategy provides safe, efficient control without complex sensors or sensor processing. Experiments demonstrated that healthy subjects can safely control the wheelchair in an office-like environment without training.This article is part of a special issue on Interacting with Autonomy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
