MYOELECTRIC SERVO CONTROL
Abstract
The object of the program was the demonstration of feasibility of the myoelectric control of a servo boost system to position the operator's hand. The basic arm movements desired and the muscles involved were determined and the myoelec tric activity patterns characteristic of the movements measured. Transforms were performed on the raw signals and control logics which relate myoelectric signals to desired servo action were written. A task simulator was con structed which accepted the myoelectric inputs from sets of three or four muscles, performed the present logic on the elicited myoelectric signals, provided success-failure feedback, and drove an arm support splint in uniplanar up-down movement.
