Brain-Computer Interface for Quadcopter Morphology Manipulation

Abstract

Quadcopters have been around for a long time and have recently been entering various fields with varied applications, from recreational flying to experimental urban taxis. Technological improvements have made it possible for quadcopters to adapt to their deployed environments by folding and changing shape mid-flight. This paper presents a notable insight into how to morph the shape of a quadcopter using mental commands from a brain-computer interface headset. The comparisons made in this paper range from the morphing quadcopter design specifications to the reduction in user response time by using mental commands versus a physical switch.
