Current objective
Fixing the robotic arm (programming) + started working on EOG/EEG
Progress
Up until 19.09.2014
In the past 3 weeks I have met with both of my supervisors (Koit Kulper and Ilya Kuzovkin) and discussed the different areas and aspects of my thesis. The un-official topic is "Using EEG and EOG signals to control a robotic manipulator (arm)". I read articles Ilya suggested on EEG and EOG signal processing and consulted Koit on the mechanics and electronics of the robotic arm. So far everything seems feasible, just it's going to take some time. Thus, right now I'm composing a detailed study plan for all the work that needs to be done.
