Description
Smart Wheelchairs and Brain-Computer Interfaces: Mobile Assistive Technologies combines the fields of neuroscience, rehabilitation and robotics via contributions from experts in their field to help readers develop new mobile assistive technologies. It provides information on robotics, control algorithm design for mobile robotics systems, ultrasonic and laser sensors for measurement and trajectory planning, and is ideal for researchers in BCI. A full view of this new field is presented, giving readers the current research in the field of smart wheelchairs, potential control mechanisms and human interfaces that covers mobility, particularly powered mobility, smart wheelchairs, particularly sensors, control mechanisms, and human interfaces.

Person
In 2007, Dr. Diez began his Doctorate in the Institute of Automatics (INAUT) at the National University of San Juan (UNSJ) from Argentina. In 2012, he obtained a Postdoctoral Fellowship on the Division of Medical Technology (GATEME), at UNSJ from Argentina. The National Council for Scientific Research and Technologies (CONICET) from Argentina funded the research work of Dr. Diez from 2007. Currently, he is Investigator of CONICET.
Dr. Diez has published his research work in many journals and conferences and he has won different awards, among them, The "Sarmiento Prize? for the best doctoral thesis; an award from the Secretary of Sciences, Technologies and Innovation of San Juan State Government. He is a reviewer for funding programs, a member of scientific committees and is a reviewer for conferences and journals. He currently works in the development of assistive technologies for people with disabilities.
