Brain Computer Interface based Arduino Home Automation System for Physically Challenged

Home automation has been built with Internet of Things (IoT) technology to control all devices by connecting them through an internet. With IoT technology all home appliances can be operated. But for physically challenged person, operating the appliances by using internet is remaining as a tough task. Brain Controlled Interface (BCI) technology supports the physically challenged population to communicate with home appliances. In the proposed design, the system will interpret the signals from human brain and convert them into actions. The signals will be further analysed by brain sense headset by placing the electrodes placing around the scalp. These signals are converted into the raw waveform and processed towards the Arduino controller by using Bluetooth module. The Arduino will further process the received signal and operate the appliances by using relay. The proposed system will be cost effective with more ease in the design. The system is specifically designed for paralyzed and disabled persons to help themselves in operating the appliances.
