EMG real-time classification for robotics and HMI

Abstract

There is method for real time frequency analysis of the electromyogram is described in article. This method is proposed to use in control systems of advanced robotics for medical and healthcare applications. Method consists of realtime frequency estimation with preliminary using of band-pass filter.The method is easy to program and does not require any additional resources.The article gives an example of using this method in classification of movements problem which is actual for robotics and human-machine interfaces.

Real-Time EMG Signal Frequency Identification

“…In this section the EMG frequency identification is described. Let's present (1) in the following form (Zimenko, Margun and Kremlev [2013]):…”

User–Robot Interaction for Safe Navigation of a Quadrotor

“…Wearable and electromyographic (EMG) devices present a completely different approach for gesture recognition methods and viable control schemes for robotics applications. The use of noninvasive EMG techniques for commanding simulated robots has been explored by some researchers, 14 and their potential application in different fields including medical human-machine interfaces has also been studied, 15 proving the viability of this kind of interaction approaches. Some works have employed devices that combine EMG sensors with inertial measurement units (IMUs) in a wearable armband to track different kinds of human gestures.…”
