In this work, we propose a new method of robot navigation control through electromyogram (EMG) and acceleration sensors attached to human arms. This method allows the user to control the robot remotely by his/her intuitive motion like car steering. EMG signal processing decides whether to control the robot or not. Then, the robot takes a motion out of 4 possible motions (Forward, Backward, Left turn, Right turn) that is inferred from acceleration sensor. The accuracy of the motion discrimination has the success rate of 99% without any time delay. The whole system was implemented and we verified its utility by humanoid robot demonstration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
