Abstract
This paper reports an Electroencephalogram based- brain actuated telepresence system to provide a user with the presence in remote environments through the mobile robot. We present the design of brain computer interface control of wheelchair and a mobile robot with autonomous navigation. The shared control strategy is built by the BCI decoding of task- related orders which can be autonomously executed by the robot. The quality of life of people suffering from severe motor disabilities can benefit from use of this technology capable of communication. Brain computer interfaces are the systems that can translate brain activity into signals that control the external devices. Thus they can represent the only technology for severally paralyzed patients to maintain their communication within the surrounding environment
