The aim of the study was to perform bioelectric signal analysis focusing on its applicability to wireless remote control of the electro-pneumatic servo-systems. The test-stand was constructed to wireless remote control of the electro-pneumatic servo-drive by means of bioelectric signals generated by the operator. The natural bioelectric signals generated by brain, facial muscles and eye muscles read by the NIA (Neural Impulse Actuator) are translated into control commands in the controller of electro-pneumatic servo-drive. Bioelectric signals (EEG, EMG and EOG) detected by means of special forehead band with three sensors are sent to the actuator box, where they are interpreted as control signals. The control signals from the actuator box are transmitted via a wireless WiFi network to the controller of pneumatic system. This paper proposes a novel Wireless Network Interface Controller (WNIC) for the control of pneumatic position system using bioelectric signals.
