This paper discusses a pioneering area
of research that is being carried out by Sunderland University that allows brain-injured
persons to do simple tasks using robotic arms. Although robotics have been used
for helping disabled persons in various areas of disability, very little research
has been done with the brain injured persons and robotics. This paper discusses
the implementation of a simple model, which consists of brain body interface,
a computer, an interface program, an electronic circuit to interface the computer
to the robotic arm and a robotic arm. We hope to improve the lives of brain-injured
people once the pilot studies are completed
