用脑电+肌电控制低成本假肢,实现手和肘的自然操作
BIONIX: A Wireless, Low-Cost Prosthetic Arm with Dual-Signal EEG and EMG Control
- 脑电与肌电信号融合控制,通过眨眼开关手部开合,肌电调节肘部屈伸
- 系统成本约240美元,使用滑动窗口与阈值检测,手肘动作需连续8帧确认
- 适合资源匮乏地区患者,可拓展至3D打印和低延迟模型优化
廉价上肢假肢常缺乏直观控制系统,限制了低资源环境下截肢者使用。本项目提出一种低成本、双模神经-肌肉控制方案,结合脑电图(EEG)与肌电图(EMG),实现假肢手臂的实时多自由度控制。EEG信号由NeuroSky MindWave Mobile 2采集,经ThinkGear蓝牙包传输至运行轻量分类模型的ESP32微控制器。模型基于1500秒记录的EEG数据训练,采用6帧滑动窗口与低通滤波,剔除低质量信号,按70/20/10划分训练-验证-测试集,用于检测强眨眼事件,触发手部开闭状态切换。肌电信号由MyoWare 2.0传感器与SparkFun无线屏蔽板采集,传输至另一块ESP32,通过阈值检测实现三段式控制:静止(0–T1)、伸展(T1–T2)、收缩(>T2),且仅当连续8帧处于运动类时才触发动作以增强稳定性。脑电侧驱动4个手指舵机,肌电侧驱动2个肘部舵机。原型使用低成本材料搭建(总成本约240美元),主要开销为商用脑电头戴设备。未来工作包括转向3D打印机箱、集成自回归模型降低肌电延迟、提升舵机扭矩以增强承重与握力。该系统展示了面向欠发达地区与全球健康应用的可行低成本科学生物直觉控制路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Affordable upper-limb prostheses often lack intuitive control systems, limiting functionality and accessibility for amputees in low-resource settings. This project presents a low-cost, dual-mode neuro-muscular control system integrating electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) to enable real-time, multi-degree-of-freedom control of a prosthetic arm. EEG signals are acquired using the NeuroSky MindWave Mobile 2 and transmitted via ThinkGear Bluetooth packets to an ESP32 microcontroller running a lightweight classification model. The model was trained on 1500 seconds of recorded EEG data using a 6-frame sliding window with low-pass filtering, excluding poor-signal samples and using a 70/20/10 training--validation--test split. The classifier detects strong blink events, which toggle the hand between open and closed states. EMG signals are acquired using a MyoWare 2.0 sensor and SparkFun wireless shield and transmitted to a second ESP32, which performs threshold-based detection. Three activation bands (rest: 0--T1; extension: T1--T2; contraction: greater than T2) enable intuitive elbow control, with movement triggered only after eight consecutive frames in a movement class to improve stability. The EEG-controlled ESP32 actuates four finger servos, while the EMG-controlled ESP32 drives two elbow servos. A functional prototype was constructed using low-cost materials (total cost approximately 240 dollars), with most expense attributed to the commercial EEG headset. Future work includes transitioning to a 3D-printed chassis, integrating auto-regressive models to reduce EMG latency, and upgrading servo torque for improved load capacity and grip strength. This system demonstrates a feasible pathway to low-cost, biologically intuitive prosthetic control suitable for underserved and global health applications.
