Feasibility of EEG-Based Bimanual Upper-Limb Exoskeleton Control for Activities of Daily Living
摘要
While brain–computer interface (BCI) controlled exoskeletons have shown promise in restoring function for paralyzed individuals, most existing systems are restricted to unilateral operation, failing to address the bimanual coordination required for real-world tasks. This paper presents a pilot study on the feasibility and functional performance of a newly developed bimanual upper-limb exoskeleton. The system integrates augmented reality and eye-tracking for intuitive object selection, and a BCI for grasping control. During the experimental phase participants completed a bimanual task in which they simulated filling a glass with water from a bottle and drinking from the glass.
