TinyMyo是首个可在超低功耗设备上运行的肌电基础模型,支持多任务通用处理。

TinyMyo: a Tiny Foundation Model for Flexible EMG Signal Processing at the Edge

  • 基于Transformer的轻量自监督预训练模型,仅3.6M参数
  • 在多个数据集上达或超越现有最优性能,如NinaPro DB5达89.4%
  • 首次部署于GAP9微控制器,推理功耗仅44.91mJ

表面肌电(EMG)是一种广泛应用于生物力学、康复、假肢控制及人机交互的非侵入式传感技术。尽管已有数十年应用,跨受试者、采集系统和协议的鲁棒泛化仍具挑战。虽然基础模型(FMs)在EMG领域逐渐兴起,但现有方法多局限于单一下游任务且难以部署于嵌入式平台。本文提出TinyMyo,一个基于Transformer编码器架构的轻量级基础模型,通过公开数据集上的掩码重建实现自监督预训练。模型仅含3.6M参数,可通过极少任务特定头部适配支持多种下游任务。实验表明,其在手部动作分类、手部运动学回归、语音生成与识别等任务中表现优异,性能媲美或超越当前最优(SoA),模型规模低于5M参数。在NinaPro DB5(89.4%)、UCI-EMG(97.56%)和EPN-612(96.74%)数据集上均达到先进水平。首次实现将EMG基础模型部署于超低功耗微控制器GAP9,推理时间0.785秒,能耗44.91毫焦,功耗包络57.18毫瓦。结果表明,紧凑的自监督EMG基础模型可在保证多任务强泛化能力的同时,兼容低功耗边缘设备。意义在于,TinyMyo是首个面向超低功耗边缘设备的EMG基础模型,推动了运动意图解码、神经肌肉评估与生物信号驱动人机交互的可扩展、节能传感发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Objective: Surface electromyography (EMG) is a non-invasive sensing modality widely used in biomechanics, rehabilitation, prosthetic control, and human-machine interfaces. Despite decades of use, achieving robust generalization across subjects, recording systems, and acquisition protocols remains challenging. While foundation models (FMs) are gaining traction for EMG, existing approaches remain limited to single downstream tasks and lack deployability on embedded platforms. This work addresses these limitations. Methods: We present TinyMyo, a lightweight FM based on a Transformer encoder architecture. The model is pre-trained in a self-supervised manner using masked reconstruction on publicly available datasets. With only 3.6M parameters, TinyMyo is designed to support multiple downstream tasks through minimal task-specific head adaptations. Results: We demonstrate generalization across hand gesture classification, hand kinematic regression, speech production and speech recognition, with performance comparable to or surpassing the state of the art (SoA), and model size below 5M parameters. We achieve SoA results compared to previous FM-based works on the NinaPro DB5 (89.4%), UCI-EMG (97.56%), and EPN-612 (96.74%) datasets. We demonstrate the first-time deployment of an EMG FM on an ultra-low power microcontroller (GAP9), with an inference time of 0.785 s, energy of 44.91 mJ and power envelope of 57.18 mW. Conclusion: TinyMyo demonstrates that compact, self-supervised EMG FM can guarantee strong generalization across multiple downstream tasks while remaining compatible with low-power edge devices. Significance: TinyMyo is the first EMG FM for ultra-low power edge devices, enabling scalable and energy-efficient sensing for motor intent decoding, neuromuscular assessment, and biosignal driven human-machine interaction.
