Prosthetic Arm Control and Intuitive Limb Movement Motion Tracking Using EMG
摘要
This paper describes a real-time, non-invasive control system for upper limb prosthetics using motion tracking and electromyography data in a virtual reality environment. The device is particularly useful for high-level amputees because it utilizes lower limb movements to control the arm. An inexpensive, multi-channel wireless EMG acquisition module enhances intuitive control by applying machine learning methods. Experimental results show the system’s efficiency, such as the fact that up to 90.4% accuracy is reached while having less than 1 s time for responses. The method requires less learning effort and provides a simple and accessible way to train using prosthetic limbs.
