Abstract: This paper proposes a method of remotely controlling robots with arm gestures using surface electromyography (EMG) and accelerometer sensors attached to the operator’s wrists. The EMG and accelerometer sensors receive signals from the arm gestures of the operator and infer the corresponding movements to execute the command to control the robot. The movements of the robot include moving forward and backward and turning left and right. The accuracy is over 99% and movements can be controlled in real time.
Abstract: In this paper we propose a simple adaptive algorithm
iteratively solving the unit-norm constrained optimization problem.
Instead of conventional parameter norm based normalization,
the proposed algorithm incorporates scalar normalization which is
computationally much simpler. The analysis of stationary point is
presented to show that the proposed algorithm indeed solves the
constrained optimization problem. The simulation results illustrate
that the proposed algorithm performs as good as conventional ones
while being computationally simpler.
