A wheelchair that can be controlled without using your hands is now a reality.
Powered by brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, a smart electric wheelchair developed by IHNNK, a Guangzhou-based company specializing in the BCI AI industry, provides new mobility options for users with limited hand function. The system uses a non-invasive BCI headband to capture brain signals, eye movements, and head motions, allowing users to move, turn, or stop the wheelchair simply by tilting their head.
The technology is currently being used at the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games, taking place in China and running through December 15, helping athletes and participants navigate competition venues more easily.
