Swarm of Quadrotors Controlled with EEG Brain Interface
This isn’t as spooky as seeing a swarm of LOCUST drones in the sky, but it is a pretty remarkable feat, using EEG to guide three quadrotors through a tight-fitting area:
Real-time demonstration of controlling a swarm of quadrotors to travel through narrow passage.
The control of the swarm of quadrotors is implemented using a hybrid architecture consisting of a joystick and brain-control interfaces. Electroencephalographic (EEG) signals are decoded to formation control variables (cohesion) for the swarm, while altitude control is done via a joystick.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
