Funded research projects

• Brain computer interface based smart home control using EEG sensors

  National Grassroots ICT Research Initiative (NGIRI), 2014 to 2015. Dr. Muhammad Naeem Awais, PI. Completed.

  A brain computer interface that records brain activity and puts it to use, for convenience or to help people with disabilities. Using an EEG headset and the steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) technique, the prototype links thoughts and eye-blink patterns to switching and regulating home appliances such as fans and lights.

• Design and implementation of a robust fault detection and augmentation scheme for safety critical plants

  National Research Program for Universities (NRPU), HEC, 2014 to 2015. Dr. Muhammad Naeem Awais, Co-PI.

  A fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control allocation scheme added to an existing feedback controller, using only the primary actuators. A sliding mode controller provides the fault tolerance; a secondary controller takes over when the primary fails, guided by the fault diagnosis module.
