Development of BIO-REMOTE
- Toward Aids for Daily Life of the Handicapped -



We propose and develop a new human interface system for the handicapped. The operator can control various home electrical devices using this interface system. This system composes of a transmitter unit and a receiver unit of bioelectric signals, and the receiver unit includes an infrared remote controller and an interface port connected with a personal computer. Bioelectric signals are preprocessed and discriminated using a statistical neural network, which is described as software in the personal computer, and the operator's intended command is executed through an infrared remote controller.
