Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Electromyography (EMG) based control systems translate muscle electrical signals into commands.
  • These systems are crucial for advanced prosthetics and assistive technologies.
  • Existing EMG systems can be costly and lack customizability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present two novel 'Bionic Clicker' systems for EMG-based control.
  • To demonstrate EMG control for educational purposes (Mark I).
  • To develop a cost-effective, customizable, and wireless EMG system for research (Mark II).

Main Methods:

  • The Mark I system utilized a microcontroller and bio-signals shield for basic EMG control.
  • The Mark II system was engineered with a wireless microcontroller and muscle sensor for enhanced functionality.
  • Both systems focused on translating muscle activation signals into actionable commands.

Main Results:

  • The Mark I system successfully demonstrated EMG-based slide changing for presentations, generating significant interest.
  • The Mark II system provides a more affordable, adaptable, and wirelessly capable platform for EMG research.
  • The new system facilitates direct transmission of EMG data.

Conclusions:

  • The Bionic Clicker systems offer accessible platforms for understanding and utilizing EMG control.
  • The Mark II represents a significant advancement in creating customizable and cost-effective EMG interfaces.
  • These developments have implications for prosthetics, assistive devices, and human-computer interaction research.
