  • Title: An intelligent system with EMG-based joint angle estimation for telemanipulation.
    Author: Suryanarayanan S, Reddy NP, Gupta V.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 1996; 29():546-52. PubMed ID: 10163782.
    Abstract:
    Bio-control of telemanipulators is being researched as an alternate control strategy. This study investigates the use of surface EMG from the biceps to predict joint angle during flexion of the arm that can be used to control an anthropomorphic telemanipulator. An intelligent system based on neural networks and fuzzy logic has been developed to use the processed surface EMG signal and predict the joint angle. The system has been tested on various angles of flexion-extension of the arm and at several speeds of flexion-extension. Preliminary results show the RMS error between the predicted angle and the actual angle to be less than 3% during training and less than 15% during testing. The technique of direct bio-control using EMG has the potential as an interface for telemanipulation applications.
