摘要

The continuous prediction of joint angles from surface electromyography (sEMG) signals is essential for improving human-robot interaction systems in rehabilitation and assistive robotics. However, sEMG signals are often contaminated by noise and artifacts, posing a significant challenge to accurate and real-time prediction of joint movements. This study proposes a hybrid method combining an advanced denoising algorithm, Black Widow Optimization-Flexible Analytical Wavelet Transform (BWO-FAWT), and a predictive model based on gated recurrent units (GRU). Following the application of this method to experimental data, significant improvements in signal quality and prediction accuracy were observed. The BWO-FAWT effectively optimizes signal quality with an average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 15.72±1.53 dB. The GRU model achieves high prediction performance, with a root mean square error (RMSE) of \(1.1805\pm 0.0735^{\circ }\) 1.1805 ± 0 . 0735 , a mean absolute error (MAE) of \(0.943\pm 0.0646^{\circ }\) 0.943 ± 0 . 0646 , and a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9669±0.0108, with a computation time of 19 ms per prediction and a 60 ms anticipation. Consequently, the obtained results demonstrate that this approach is suitable for real-time applications. These promising results lay the groundwork for intelligent robotic rehabilitation devices and effective dynamic assistance systems.
