Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 274))

Abstract

This article shows the experiences carried out in the context of Human Brain-Robot Control between Remote Places communication, on the basis of brain bio-electrical signals, with the application of the Brain-Machine Interface from Emotiv. There are available technologies and interfaces which have facilitated the reading of the bio-electrical signal from the user’s brain and their association to explicit commands that have allow controlling mobile robots (NXT-Lego) by adapting communication devices. Our work presents an engineering solution, with the application of technological basis, the development of the local communication framework and remote control. Lastly, metrics and indicators from the realized tests are proposed.
