PCA Model of Fundamental Acoustic Finger Force for Out-of-Plane Ultrasonic Vibration and its Correlation with Friction Reduction

Rapid and accurate prediction of interaction force is an effective way to enhance the compliant control performance. However, whether individual muscles or a combination of muscles is more suitable for interaction force prediction under different contraction tasks is of great importance in the compliant control of the wearable assisted robot. In this article, a novel algorithm that is based on sEMG and KPCA-DRSN is proposed to explore the relationship between interaction force prediction and sEMG signals. Furthermore, the contribution of each muscle to the interaction force is assessed based on the predicted results. First of all, the experimental platform for obtaining the sEMG is described. Then, the raw sEMG signal of different muscles is collected from the upper arm during different contractions. Meanwhile, the output force is collected by the force sensor. The Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) method is adopted to remove the invalid components of the raw sEMG signal. After that, the processed sequence is fed into the Deep Residual Shrinkage Network (DRSN) to predict the interaction force. Finally, based on the prediction results, the contribution of each sEMG signal from different muscles to the interaction force is evaluated by the mean impact value (MIV) indicator. The experimental results demonstrate that our methods can automatically extract the valid features of sEMG signal and provided fast and efficient prediction. In addition, the single muscle with the largest MIV index could predict the interaction force faster and more accurately than the muscle combination in different contraction tasks. The finding of our research provides a solid evidence base for the compliant control of the wearable robot.
