For people with extreme disabilities such as ALS and Quadriplegia it is nearly impossible for them to hit an emergency stop button if they wherever in distress. This presents a problem with the development of Project Chiron a self driving wheelchair that can drive around even if the passenger can not move. To solve this problem, we are developing an Electrooculography (EOG) system that by reading the voltage across someones temples will be able to trigger an emergency stop in the event of a preset eye position. While being developed in the PRL this project is an Electrical Senior Project, the link to their site can be found above.
