Brain-controlled multi-robot at servo-control level based on nonlinear model predictive control

Using a brain-computer interface (BCI) rather than limbs to control multiple robots (i.e., brain-controlled multi-robots) can better assist people with disabilities in daily life than a brain-controlled single robot. For example, one person with disabilities can move by a brain-controlled wheelchair...

Brain-controlled multi-robot at servo-control level based on nonlinear model predictive control

For example, one person with disabilities can move by a brain-controlled wheelchair (leader robot) and simultaneously transport objects by follower robots. In this paper, we explore how to control the direction, speed, and formation of a brain-controlled multi-robot system (consisting of leader and follower robots) for the first time and propose a novel multi-robot predictive control framework (MRPCF) that can track users' control intents and ensure the safety of multiple robots.
