Abstract

Current tendency of electromyography (EMG) based prosthetic hand is to enable the user to perform complex grasps or manipulations with natural muscle movements. In this paper, a new classifier is introduced to identify the naturally contracted surface EMG patterns for hand motion recognition. The recognition method utilizes a dependence structure as a motion template, which includes one-to-one correlations of surface EMG feature channels. Using an effective EMG feature, the proposed algorithm can successfully classify different complex motions from different subjects with a satisfactory recognition rate. To save the computational cost, re-sampling processing has been employed.
