Abstract
This work presents the development of a new algorithm for the con-trol of robotic and prosthetic hands: the proposed architecture is made of an EMG wearable sensor and a personalized Graphical User Interface (GUI).
The proposed system inherits and processes eight EMG signals which are local-ly amplified and rectified within the wearable device: then a signal classifier al-lows piloting a 2 degree of freedom cursor on the GUI in order to reach a pro-vided target in the Cartesian space.
The aim of this study is to finally provide a user-friendly interface for training human subjects on reaching movements with the EMG signals of their forearm muscles. This approach as a twofold objectives: (1) to maintain, train and sup-port the muscular tone and (2) to provide an interface for the physiotherapy and preparation of prosthetic use in daily life.
