A novel technique for classification of myoelectric signals for prosthesis

15th World Congress of the International Federation of Automatic Control, 2002 -- 21 July 2002 through 26 July 2002 -- 153189This paper presents an investigation into classifying myoelectric signals using a new fuzzy clustering neural network architecture for control of multifunction prostheses. Moreover, a comparative study of the classification accuracy of myoelectric signals using multi-layer perceptron with back-propagation algorithm, and the new fuzzy clustering neural network (FCNN) is presented. The myoelectric signals considered are used to classify four upper-limb movements, which are elbow flexion, elbow extension, wrist pronation and wrist supination, grasp, and resting. The results suggest that FCNN can generalise better than the multi-layer perceptron without requiring extra computational effort. The proposed neural network algorithm allows the user to learn better and faster. Copyright © 2002 IFAC

A fuzzy clustering neural network architecture for multifunction upper-limb prosthesis

WOS: 000186048100005PubMed ID: 14619995Accurate and computationally efficient means of classifying surface myoelectric signals has been the subject of considerable research effort, in recent years. The aim of this paper is to classify myoelectric signals using new fuzzy clustering neural network (NN) architectures to control multifunction prostheses. This paper presents a comparative study of the classification accuracy of myoelectric signals using multilayered perceptron NN using back-propagation, conic section function NN, and new fuzzy clustering NNs (FCNNs). The myoelectric signals considered are used in classifying six upper-limb movements: elbow flexion, elbow extension, Wrist pronation and wrist supination, grasp, and resting. The results suggest that FCNN can generalize better than other NN algorithms and help the user learn, better and faster. This method has the potential of being very efficient in real-time applications

Robust State/Output-Feedback Control of Robotic Manipulators: An Adaptive Fuzzy-Logic-Based Approach With Self-Organized Membership Functions

This article aims to design a joint space tracking controller for robotic manipulators having uncertainties in their mathematical representations under the additional constraint that joint velocity sensing not being available. A two-part design is followed where in the first part, the modeling uncertainties are dealt with a self-organized adaptive fuzzy-logic (AFL)-based controller where full-state feedback (FSFB) is assumed. The stability analysis yields semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded tracking results. In the second part, a high-gain joint velocity observer is designed followed by replacing error vectors in the FSFB controller with their saturated versions obtained from the observer design to arrive at a self-organized AFL-based robust output-feedback controller. The stability analysis is performed via a multiple-step Lyapunov-type method where the semiglobal uniform ultimate boundedness of the tracking error is ensured. Comparative experiment results obtained from a planar robotic manipulator are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control methodology

Adaptive fuzzy logic with self-tuned membership functions based repetitive learning control of robotic manipulators

With increasing demand for using robotic manipulators in industrial applications, controllers specific for performing repeatable tasks are required. These controllers must also be robust to model uncertainties. To address this research issue, a repetitive learning control method fused with adaptive fuzzy logic techniques is designed. Specifically, modeling uncertainties are first modeled with a fuzzy logic network and an adaptive fuzzy logic strategy with online tuning is designed. The stability is investigated via Lyapunov type techniques where global uniform ultimate boundedness of closed loop system is guaranteed. Numerical simulation results obtained from a two degree of freedom robot manipulator model and experiments performed on a robot manipulator demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control methodology.
