“…Another important aspect of an EMG based control method is signal classification. Generally, accuracy of EMG based control method highly depends on method of classification and which helps to identify muscles to generate the required output from the EMG based control method [18]. Different robots use different techniques for signal classification and many of them are based on neuro-fuzzy, fuzzy logic and neural network.…”

“…Feature selection: Due to the large number of inputs and randomness of the signal, it is impractical to feed the EMG signal directly to the classifier [6,18]. Therefore, it is necessary to create the feature vector, where sequence is mapped into a smaller dimension vector.…”

“…Basically, EMG based control is a sophisticated technique concerned with detection, processing, classification and application of EMG to control assistive robots. EMG can be applied to control assistive robots in various manners by considering data acquisition, feature extraction and classification [18]. Some of the available exoskeleton robots controlled based on EMG are the orthotic exoskeleton hand [19], exoskeleton robot for tremor suppression [20], SUEFUL-7 [6] etc.…”

“…Here EMG based control methods are categorized in detail, based on the structure of the controller algorithm, as pattern recognition based controls and non-pattern recognition based controls. Most of available control methodologies used with assistive robots are pattern recognition based controls [18,19,24,26,27]. The control methods belonging to non-pattern recognition based controls [28][29][30] are rare.…”

Abstract-Developing socially assistive robots is an emerging interdisciplinary research area, which requires collaboration between a wide range of disciplines. Among recent research projects, there have been attempts to develop assistive robotic solutions to solve various health and social issues. In most current research attempts to design socially assistive robots, the focus is on designing new robotic agents that can interact with people by various means.Since people do not have much experience with robots, usually extensive field trials are conducted in order to assess the usability of these robots. However, determining the usability of these robotic agents is a difficult task, since the results of field trials are not always conclusive. In this paper, an attempt to overcome the difficulty of evaluating usability of assistive robots is presented.This paper presents the design of the first version of a companion robot called RoboChair. RoboChair is in the form of a wheel chair. But, functionally it is a socially assistive companion robot.The proposed robotic chair is a mobile robot that can carry a person. It is equipped with several measuring devices for taking clinical measurements mentioned above. In addition to that, it is equipped with several sensors for obstacle avoidance, map building, localization, detecting humans etc. It is also equipped with motor controllers and other actuators for motion control.The robot chair is capable of engaging users with interactive dialogs through a touch screen and by using human-robot interaction techniques. It has a scalable modular architecture so that adding new hardware and software modules is straightforward. The software framework is based on Robot Operating System (ROS) open source robotic middleware.RoboChair is controlled by a distributed controller that spans multiple hardware devices and multiple operating systems.

High-adhesion stretchable electrodes are fabricated by utilizing a novel nanopile interlocking strategy. Nanopiles significantly enhance adhesion and redistribute the strain in the film, achieving high stretchability. The nanopile electrodes enable simultaneous monitoring of electromyography signals and mechanical deformations. This study opens up a new perspective of achieving stretchability and high adhesion for stretchable electronics.
