Robotic limbs are being used in several applications in industry, but there is also an increase in applications for individuals, such as a support device for people with muscle diseases. For using these robotic devices in close proximity with the human and it is important that the interaction is safe and that the device is not too bulky. To make the control of robots for individuals as intuitive (and non-invasive) as possible, the idea is to gather the input of the human operator by EMG. This information needs to be translated into input for the control (e.g. the desired movement). The student will study how to measure EMG signals, which details can be measured and how this information can be used to build a model to identify desired postures or actions based on these EMG signals.
