上肢运动功能障碍严重影响日常活动,尤其在物体操作任务中。助残机械臂可提供有效解决方案,前提是控制方式需直观、可靠且响应迅速。表面肌电(sEMG)可非侵入式获取肌肉活动,从而解码用户运动意图。本文提出一种基于sEMG的实时远程操控系统,采用四通道sEMG采集、信号预处理、滑动窗口分割,并利用一维卷积神经网络(1D CNN)进行分类。研究对比了阈值触发的启始检测、两阶段分类(静止/运动后手势识别)以及单分类器统一处理静止与五类手势等策略。完整流程在仿真和真实机器人平台上评估,结果表明:基于CNN的方法测试准确率高于90%,且对实验采集信号具有良好泛化能力;系统平均延迟约0.32秒,与所选窗口策略一致,可稳定实现离散手势控制,在仿真与真实环境中均产生连贯平滑的机械臂动作。该研究验证了基于sEMG的远程控制在助残机器人中的可行性,强调了信号处理、深度学习与控制策略在统一实时框架中集成的重要性。未来工作可探索融合sEMG与其他传感模态的混合控制方法,以进一步提升鲁棒性与可用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Motor impairments affecting the upper limb significantly reduce autonomy in daily activities, particularly for tasks involving object manipulation. Assistive robotic arms offer a promising solution, provided they can be controlled in an intuitive, reliable, and responsive manner. Among human--machine interface approaches, surface electromyography (sEMG) enables non-invasive access to muscle activity and thus to the user's motor intentions. This work proposes a real-time sEMG-based interface for the teleoperation of an assistive robotic arm. The system relies on four-channel sEMG acquisition, signal preprocessing, segmentation into sliding windows, and classification using a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN). Several real-time strategies are investigated, including threshold-based onset detection, a two-stage classification approach (rest vs movement followed by gesture recognition), and a single classifier handling both rest and five gestures. The complete pipeline is implemented and evaluated both in simulation and on a real robotic platform. The CNN-based approach achieves high classification performance, with a test accuracy above 90\% and strong generalization on experimentally acquired signals. The system exhibits stable real-time behavior, with an average latency of approximately 0.32 s consistent with the chosen windowing strategy, and the robot can be controlled reliably using discrete gestures, producing coherent and smooth movements in both simulated and real environments. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of sEMG-based telecontrol for assistive robotics and highlight the importance of integrating signal processing, deep learning, and control strategies within a unified real-time framework. Future work may explore hybrid control approaches combining sEMG with additional sensing modalities to further improve robustness and usability.
