Fast calibration of hand movements-based interface for arm exoskeleton control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several muscular degenerative diseases alter motor abilities of large muscles but spare smaller muscles, e.g. keeping hand motor skills relatively unaffected while upper limbs ones are altered. Thus, hand movements could be be used to control an arm exoskeleton for rehabilitation and assistive purpose. Using an infra-red sensors (IR) based interface for the exoskeleton control, this paper describes the learning part of the system, endowing the system with a fast online calibration and adaptation abilities. This learning component shows good results and have been successfully implemented on the real system.

متن کاملVision-Based Pose Estimation for Robot-Mediated Hand Telerehabilitation
Vision-based Pose Estimation (VPE) represents a non-invasive solution to allow a smooth and natural interaction between a human user and a robotic system, without requiring complex calibration procedures. Moreover, VPE interfaces are gaining momentum as they are highly intuitive, such that they can be used from untrained personnel (e.g., a generic caregiver) even in delicate tasks as rehabilita...
متن کاملContralesional Brain–Computer Interface Control of a Powered Exoskeleton for Motor Recovery in Chronic Stroke Survivors
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are few effective therapies to achieve functional recovery from motor-related disabilities affecting the upper limb after stroke. This feasibility study tested whether a powered exoskeleton driven by a brain-computer interface (BCI), using neural activity from the unaffected cortical hemisphere, could affect motor recovery in chronic hemiparetic stroke survivors. Th...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of Dexterous Hand Master Glove to Control the Movements of a Virtual Slave Hand
Dexterous Hand Master (DHM) is one of exoskeletal controlling devices used to measure the positions of an operator’s hand, and utilize these positions to control the motion of a remote manipulator or slave. A simplified kinematics model of a human hand was developed to meet the ability of a proposed DHM glove. Only flexion/extension movements for fingers joints were taken into consideration in ...
متن کاملEMG-Based Continuous and Simultaneous Estimation of Arm Kinematics in Able-Bodied Individuals and Stroke Survivors
Among the potential biological signals for human-machine interactions (brain, nerve, and muscle signals), electromyography (EMG) widely used in clinical setting can be obtained non-invasively as motor commands to control movements. The aim of this study was to develop a model for continuous and simultaneous decoding of multi-joint dynamic arm movements based on multi-channel surface EMG signals...
