Abstract

BACKGROUND: Gait feature recognition is crucial to improve the efficiency and coordination of exoskeleton assistance. The recognition methods based on surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals are popular. However, the recognition accuracy of these methods is poor due to ignoring the correlation of the time series of sEMG signals. Therefore, this paper proposes a two-dimensional recognition method of lower limb gait features based on sEMG signal decomposition under multiple motion modes to improve the accuracy and robustness of gait recognition.
