Abstract

Robotic-assisted systems have been gaining significant traction in supporting rehabilitation tasks, enabling patients to manipulate objects by using a robotic arm controlled by the means of biological signals. In this regard, electromyography (EMG) signals are key for detecting the patient’s intention of motion, that can be replicated by the robotic arm with higher accuracy and precision. In this paper, we present an integrated EMG-driven robotic system capable of performing manipulation tasks by understanding 3 hand gestures associated with certain pick and place commands. Comprehensive experimental tests were conducted to demonstrate that the proposed system can decode EMG-based commands with an accuracy 93 %, undergoing precise robotic-assisted object manipulation.
