Employed signal processing and a random forest machine learning algorithm (MLA) for gesture recognition.

Conducted rigorous evaluation with 8 subjects, data augmentation, and cross-validation.

Main Results:

Achieved high accuracy of 98.3% (5-fold CV) and 98.5% (leave-one-subject-out CV).
Demonstrated generalizability with 94% accuracy on new subjects.
Successfully recognized 10 different elbow gestures with the MLA.

Conclusions:

The inductive sensor array and MLA provide a highly accurate and practical solution for elbow gesture recognition.
The system overcomes limitations of existing designs, enabling intuitive human-machine interaction.
The demonstrated generalizability supports real-world applicability.
