PY - 2009 DA - 2009/02/25 TI - Robust EMG sensing system based on data fusion for myoelectric control of a robotic arm JO - BioMedical Engineering OnLine SP - 5 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - Myoelectric control of a robotic manipulator may be disturbed by failures due to disconnected electrodes, interface impedance changes caused by movements, problems in the recording channel and other various noise sources. To correct these problems, this paper presents two fusing techniques, Variance Weighted Average (VWA) and Decentralized Kalman Filter (DKF), both based on the myoelectric signal variance as selecting criterion.
