Abstract :
In order to make haptic feedback in teleoperation rehabilitation robot system or to assist the object´s movement, recognition the intended movement of an object is required. In this paper, we establish the relation between the electromyography (EMG) signal of some specified hu.man arm´s muscles and the moment of corresponding arm´s joints. The model and the parameter calibration process are simple to put in to practice. Experiments showed that by using the proposed EMG-moment model, it is possible to predict the moment of the shoulder and elbow joints from the processed EMG signals of specified muscles.
