Abstract

Myoelectric control is known since decades. Academic methods are usually based on the supervised classification of electromyographic (EMG) signals into a set of pre-defined functions. Therefore, such methods are sequential and non-proportional. In this talk, novel approaches based on the simultaneous and proportional control of multiple degrees of freedom using EMG will be presented. These methods can be either based on supervised regression (e.g., artificial neural networks) or on EMG signal factorization. The latter method is particularly promising because it does not require training. Results of the application of the new control schemes for both able-bodied and amputee subjects will be presented.
