The MindRover project aims to teach people with disabilities to control an electric robotic wheelchair using brainwaves. The project works with European companies developing brain-computer interface technologies and algorithms to allow people to move using only their thoughts. The goal is for people with disabilities to have access to assistive technologies developed for them and to compete in the Brain-Computer Interface and Powered Wheelchair races at the 2016 Cybathlon championships.
2. Problem
MindRover Project has started training and employment programme for
differently privileged persons. differently privileged persons (DDPs) include
persons with disabilities like visual impairment, physically handicap, hearing
impaired, physical, sensory and cognitive or developmental disabilities.
We teach differently privileged persons to control the electric robotic
wheelchair platform with brainwaves.
We will upgrade a wheelchair|platform with BCI technology and give an
opportunity to move with mind-controlled wheelchair for differently privileged
persons.
One of the main aims of the project is to give the
brain-computer interface technology to the people for
and with whom it was developed
4. Object intention
MindRover Project works with the most innovation Europian companies in BCI education and
neurofeedback algorythms development.

Our ultimate goal is a first place in both Brain-Computer
Interface Race and Powered Wheelchair Race
on Cybathlon 2016
The Cybathlon is a championship for racing pilots with disabilities (i.e. parathletes) who are using
advanced assistive devices including robotic technologies.
5. Summary
¡ñ 70 million people need a wheelchair.
¡ñ We teach differently privileged persons to control the electric robotic
wheelchair platform with brainwaves.
¡ñ The in the last 2 years noninvasive BCI market experiencing rapid growth
and will reach 15 billion in 2015.
¡ñ We want to give the brain-computer interface technology to the people
for and with whom it was developed.
¡ñ Our ultimate goal is a first place in both Brain-Computer Interface Race
and Powered Wheelchair Race on Cybathlon 2016
