Applications based on electromyography sensors

Abstract

This paper presents our work regarding two different applications that use the electromyography sensors incorporated in the Thalmic Labs Myo Armband. The first application is about the HumanMachine Interface (HMI) for controlling an industrial robot bycreating the environment for the user to control a robot’s gripper position just by moving his arm. The second application refers to the real time control of a tracked mobile robot that is built with the Arduino development board. For each application thesystem design and the experimental results are presented.
