Abstract

It is a challenge to precisely predict hand grasps based on EMG signals given practical scenarios, due to its inherent nature. This paper proposes a solution to tackle the challenge with a force-driven granular model (FDGM). The problem of n-class hand grasp classification has been represented as force-based granular modelling, in which a number of granules are constructed for each class relying on the synchronically captured grasping force. A rule based mechanism is formed for granule generation of each class, and a cross-testing algorithm is proposed to optimise the number of granules. The experiment based on 8-case grasp recognition reveals that the proposed method performs better in terms of motion recognition accuracy of multiple EMG channel combination, and is more insensitive to signal interferences. In comparison with other rules of information granulation, it is confirmed that the force-driven rule is of the most efficiency with comparable classification accuracy. The research outcomes pave the way for real-time prediction of grasps and corresponding force in human-centred environments.
