Biomimetic Impedance Control of an EMG-Based Robotic Hand

Abstract

This chapter explained a biomimetic impedance control method based on raw EMG classification for the development of a multi-joint robotic control system. In the experiments performed, a natural feeling of prosthetic control similar to that of the human hand was realized using the neural network and the biomimetic impedance control. In the future, the authors plan to improve accuracy of estimation for the cooperation ratio of multiple muscles and construct a system that allows a more natural feeling of control. Publications concerning this chapter are listed in the bibliography [17], [19].
