    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Robotics
    • Wearable Technology

    Background:

    • High-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) offers advantages in robotics by reducing sensor position sensitivity and enhancing muscle activity data acquisition.
    • Current commercial HD-sEMG systems suffer from bulky stationary amplifiers, limiting portability and practical application.

    • To investigate the impact of sensor parameters like electrode material, inter-electrode distance (IED), and electrode size on signal quality.
    • To develop a cost-effective, easily fabricated, and customizable HD-sEMG sensor suitable for human-machine interfaces in robotics.

    Main Methods:

    • Investigated sensor parameters (electrode material, IED, electrode size) to optimize signal quality.
    • Developed a low-cost, flexible HD-sEMG sensor fabrication method with an on-board amplifier.
    • Evaluated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) against commercial sensors and applied a muscle activation estimation algorithm.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a high electrode density of 0.53 channel/cm², surpassing previous works.
    • Demonstrated a comparable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to commercial HD-sEMG sensors.
    • The designed sensor achieved higher accuracy in muscle activation estimation algorithms.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed flexible HD-sEMG sensor with an on-board amplifier offers a portable and high-performance solution.
    • The developed fabrication method is cost-effective, customizable, and yields high-quality signals.
    • The sensor is validated as an effective human-machine interface for robotics applications.
