A Novel sEMG-Based Gait Phase-Kinematics-Coupled Predictor and Its Interaction With Exoskeletons
The interaction between human and exoskeletons increasingly relies on the precise decoding of human motion. One main issue of the current motion decoding algorithms is that seldom algorithms provide both discrete motion patterns (e.g., gait phases) and continuous motion parameters (e.g., kinematics)...

description | The interaction between human and exoskeletons increasingly relies on the precise decoding of human motion. One main issue of the current motion decoding algorithms is that seldom algorithms provide both discrete motion patterns (e.g., gait phases) and continuous motion parameters (e.g., kinematics). In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm that uses the surface electromyography (sEMG) signals that are generated prior to their corresponding motions to perform both gait phase recognition and lower-limb kinematics prediction. Particularly, we first propose an end-to-end architecture that uses the gait phase and EMG signals as the priori of the kinematics predictor. In so doing, the prediction of kinematics can be enhanced by the ahead-of-motion property of sEMG and quasi-periodicity of gait phases. Second, we propose to select the optimal muscle set and reduce the number of sensors according to the muscle effects in a gait cycle. Finally, we experimentally investigate how the assistance of exoskeletons can affect the motion intent predictor, and we propose a novel paradigm to make the predictor adapt to the change of data distribution caused by the exoskeleton assistance. The experiments on 10 subjects demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm and reveal the interaction between assistance and the kinematics predictor. This study would aid the design of exoskeleton-oriented motion-decoding and human–machine interaction methods. |
