Assistive robotic arms are often used on wheelchairs to allow patients with disabilities the ability to interact with the world around them. Most robotic arms use a joystick for controlling it, however, some people in wheelchairs do not have control of the movement of their limbs.
This is where eye tracking comes in as a crucial part of their lives. The challenge of developing an interface which allows control 6DOF movement using 2d eye tracking information is an integral part of this project.
This project designs, implements and validates such an interface.
