This Paper describes a brainwave controlled mobile robot based on brain computer interface (bci). This uses Matlab to analyze the brainwaves. Bci bypass the communication path between brain and computer to establish a communication system in which the data flows directly from brain to physical devices. Bci consists of software and hardware components that allow brain inputs to be translated as controls for machine. The different brain patterns are translated into different machine commands. These obtained commands are used to control the mobile robot. This technology is widely used in neuro-prosthetic devices, which helps people in achieving or improving their capability. . Our intention in this paper is to develop a smart wheelchair which will help disabled people in their mobility. The Bci consists of Neurosky brainwave headset which is connected to computer for extracting the data and to process real time commands, which is then used to control the module.

Brain Computer Interface consists of hardware and software that convert brain signals into action. It changes the nerves, muscles, and movements they produce with electro-physiological signs. The BCI cannot read the brain and decipher the thought in general. The BCI can only identify and classify specific patterns of activity in ongoing brain signals associated with specific tasks or events. EEG is the most commonly used non-invasive BCI method as it can be obtained easily compared to other methods. In this study; It will be given how EEG signals are obtained from the scalp, with which waves these frequencies are named and in which brain states these waves occur. 10-20 electrode placement plan for EEG to be placed on the scalp will be shown.
