4 via CPX, to the linear axis Tilting the field with compressed air: the DMSP-20 pneumatic muscles Tracking the ball’s position: the SOEG-S/E sensors on the sidelines Moved by muscular force: the EGC-50 electrical axis Conventional operation with muscular force on the lever arm The brain patterns are analysed in real time and conveyed to a learning algorithm. This generates a configuration that is adapted to the individual player and is used in game mode. CogniWare recognises a particular action whenever the user reproduces the thought pattern acquired in training in the course of a game. Full concentration required even in training mode The more similar a player’s thought patterns in training and in a game, the more reliable are the control functions. This does not come easily to all players and requires a great deal of training. At the same time, players should try to keep their facial muscles as relaxed as possible, since the measurements are influenced by all types of gestures and facial movements, so-called biosignals. In combination with its graphical user interface, CogniWare also determines the course of play by defining the start and the end of the game. This software also controls the speed of the game as well as the degree of difficulty for the opponent, as well as checking the connection quality of the individual electrodes on the player’s headset and relaying the commands to the CPX unit. Development expertise for software solutions As a technology leader in automation, Festo demonstrates with CogniGame in a playful manner that not only robust and reliable hardware components, but also intelligent software solutions are playing an increasingly important role as competitive advantages in control and regulation technology. Examples include the following: ASIMON: software for graphical, interactive operation and configuration of security solutions at the AS (actuator-sensor) interface. FCT: Festo Configuration Tool for the uniform configuration and parameterisation of all servopneumatic and electric drive units, axes, and motor control units from Festo. FHPP: Festo Handling Profile, for the uniform setup and programming of all drives via fieldbus/ethernet systems. CoDeSys pbF: a special version tailored to Festo and automation technology, with an integrated motion control package.
