Abstract
In this paper we present an overview of recent methods of controlling mobile robots with emphasis on evolutionary approaches of robot control. Development of recent electroencephalogram (EEG) based Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are discussed with the main reference to EEG analysis where brain electrical activity is classified with the intent of generating output commands. Recent attempts to control a mobile robot with a BCI are discussed with future plans for further research in this field.
