Mobility has been identified to be a major characteristic of living things. Humans who are deprived of efficient mobility either by natural or man-made factors loose significant relationship with their environment. The growing demand to produce effective rehabilitation devices for the aged population and disabled individuals, have spurred us to develop a reliable and easy to use biosignal based auto control wheelchair. This is to ensure independent mobility of persons with disabilities and the aged. In this paper, a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architecture called Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) is engaged for the classification EMG signals to the corresponding hand-gesture category. The LSTM model in this study yielded a validation accuracy that provides a basis for an improved solution towards real-time deployment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
