The Use of Brain-Computer Interface to Control Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Abstract

The article discusses the capabilities of Emotiv EPOC+ NeuroHeadset in the context of quadcopter control. It also presents project and the practical implementation of the inertial measurement unit based on the extended Kalman filter and a low-pass filter. Data produced by the inertial measurement unit are used by the quadcopter stability control system that consist of 3 PID controllers. Effectiveness of the stability control system was examined. Based on that examination, the areas for further development was pointed. Additional control systems can be implemented in order to make the control of quadcopter via BCI less demanding for the pilot.
