Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Surface Electromyography (sEMG) is used mostly for neuromuscular diagnosis, assistive technology, physical rehabilitation, and human-computer interactions. Achieving a precise and lightweight method along with low latency for gesture recognition is still a real-life challenge, especially for rehabilitation and assistive robots. This work aims to introduce a highly accurate and lightweight deep learning method for gesture recognition.
