    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Robotics
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Electromyography (EMG) based prosthetic control faces challenges with sweat, skin impedance, and reference signals.
    • Mechanomyography (MMG) offers an alternative by measuring muscle fiber vibrations, overcoming common EMG limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a robust, multi-channel wearable sensor system for user intent detection to control robotic hands.
    • To create a unified algorithm for processing sensor data and classifying hand gestures.
    • To demonstrate real-time prosthetic hand control using the developed system.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed a wearable sensor system fusing inertial measurement units (IMUs) and mechanomyography (MMG) sensors.
    • Developed a unified algorithm for gesture detection, segmentation, and classification.
    • Integrated the system with a commercial prosthetic hand (Bebionic Version 2) for real-time control experiments.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved an offline classification accuracy of 83.5% for seven hand gestures across five healthy subjects and one transradial amputee.
    • Demonstrated real-time control with average accuracies of 93.3% for two gestures and 62.2% for five gestures.
    • The system proved robust against common issues like sweat and skin impedance.

    Conclusions:

    • This work presents the first applied mechanomyography (MMG)-based control system for practical prosthetic applications.
    • The fused sensor system and unified algorithm provide a promising approach for intuitive and effective prosthetic hand control.
    • Further research can optimize the system for a wider range of gestures and user populations.
