Abstract:
In this paper an overall concept of a classification system is presented using different hardware architectures for data measurement, classifier training and deployment. The system is designed for position estimation of human arm movements based on bioelectric signals of skeletal muscles (EMG) and utilizes model-based kinematics and deep neural networks at its core. As an example, measurement data from a multi-channel forearm EMG recording is presented from a task where a subject performed periodic wrist flexion and extension movements to show a novel automatic data labeling method.
