Estimating Deficient Muscle Activity using LSTM with Integrated Damping Neurons for EMG-Based Control of Robotic Prosthetic Fingers

Recent Advances in EMG Pattern Recognition for Prosthetic Control

An Android Application for Estimating Muscle Onset Latency using Surface EMG Signal

Background: Electromyography (EMG) signal processing and Muscle Onset Latency (MOL) are widely used in rehabilitation sciences and nerve conduction studies. The majority of existing software packages provided for estimating MOL via analyzing EMG signal are computerized, desktop based and not portable; therefore, experiments and signal analyzes using them should be completed locally. Moreover, a...

Biomimetic Impedance Control of an EMG-Based Robotic Hand

The number of extremity amputations resulting from workplace mishaps, traffic accidents and other incidents has shown an increasing trend over time, although the importance of safety management and the prevention of such accidents is fully recognized. Since precise and complex motion may be very difficult in the daily activities of amputees, the development of prosthetic systems is necessary to...

On the Development of EMG Control for a Prosthetic Hand

The human hand is a complex end-effector capable of an astonishingly large variety of postures. The ease with which the human hand seems to adapt to changing requirements is one of the challenges to the designer of a plausible substitute. At the Robotics Research Laboratory at USC there is an ongoing research project to covert an existing anthropomorphic, shape-adaptive robot hand into a viable...

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...
