Carlos Abad is addressing the challenge faced by people with reduced mobility by developing a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology that utilises bioelectrical signals from the brain to control electromechanical actuator elements. The project successfully implemented BCI sensors to control a wheelchair, with predetermined thoughts and a mobile application assisting in directing the movement, demonstrating promising results in improving the quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments.

Breaking the Wall of Technological Approaches
Carlos Abad learned about technology and the potential that innovation can have in the world during his secondary education, which created an insatiable curiosity. He became increasingly involved in the field by starting to create games for companies, using these resources to help people in need. His project consists of a wheelchair that can be controlled with the mind, using the electrical impulses it generates. With this, Carlos aims to assist disabled people who have lost partial or total mobility, thereby improving their living conditions and facilitating their reintegration into society.
