Robotic Arm Control System Based on Brain-Muscle Mixed Signals

Aiming at the existing problems of BCI (brain computer interface), such as single input signal source, low accuracy of feature recognition, and less output control instructions, this paper proposes a robotic arm control system based on EEG (electroencephalogram) and EMG (electromyogram) mixed signals. The system flow is as follows: Firstly, the EMG signal of the unilateral arm and the EEG signal of the left and right hand motor imagery is collected synchronously. Then the collected EEG and EMG signals are extracted and classified, and the corresponding classification instructions are obtained. Finally, the multi-instruction real-time control of the robotic arm is realized under the classification instruction. The experimental verification results show that: The 10 subjects all realized the real-time multi-command control of the robotic arm, and the average recognition accuracy of each action reached more than 94%. The proposed system enriches the diversity of hybrid BCI and provides a theoretical basis and application foundation for the extended application of BCI in robotic arm control.
