This study introduces a fuzzy logic system for advanced prosthetic control using electromyogram (EMG) patterns. The novel approach achieves high accuracy (94-99%) in real-time, enabling seamless multi-degree-of-freedom prosthesis function.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Robotics
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Multifunctional prostheses require sophisticated control systems.
  • Electromyogram (EMG) pattern recognition is a key technology for intuitive prosthetic control.
  • Existing methods often involve significant delays or complex calibration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a heuristic fuzzy logic approach for real-time EMG pattern recognition.
  • To create a transparent and easily adjustable system for prosthetists.
  • To enable seamless control of multifunctional prostheses with multiple degrees-of-freedom.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized basic signal statistics (mean, standard deviation) for fuzzy logic membership functions.
  • Employed fuzzy c-means (FCMs) clustering to automate rule base construction.
