Recognizing user intention in reach-to-grasp motions is a critical challenge in rehabilitation engineering. To address this, a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm based on the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) was developed for identifying motor actions usi...
Accurately estimating knee joint angle during walking from surface electromyography (sEMG) signals can enable more natural control of wearable robotics like exoskeletons. However, challenges exist due to variability across individuals and sessions. T...
Intention detection of the reaching movement is considerable for myoelectric human and machine collaboration applications. A comprehensive set of handcrafted features was mined from windows of electromyogram (EMG) of the upper-limb muscles while reac...
