EMG-based Real-time Hand Gesture Prediction

Development of a data-driven model for real-time complex hand gesture recognition using EMG signals collected from subjects.

Period: 2018.03 – 2021.12

Affiliation: Incheon National University, Bioelectronics Lab.

Summary: Collected electromyogram (EMG) signals from subjects via sensors and developed a data-driven model capable of recognizing complex hand gestures in real time.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Designed a prospective study and obtained IRB approval based on literature review
  • Recruited subjects and conducted experiments following the study protocol
  • Designed bandpass and band-stop filters using LabVIEW for real-time signal noise removal
  • Extracted handcrafted features per window size using moving window technique
  • Developed EMG handcrafted feature-based machine learning models
  • Performed comparative study via statistical analysis and selected the optimal model (ANN)

Outcome: 1 SCI publication, Grand Prize at paper presentation
